i'm a P plater, and i think im playing daytona when im on the roads.
but its true....

majority of p platers are too confident in driving, thinking their superior! (i am a modest driver besides the occasional drift turn)

but lets get to the real point...
Women are the worst drivers by far.. (shields from immenant flaming)

True that..

Last week i almost hit someone cause they were driving without their lights on.. i would have had an accident but then who's fault is it... the P plater (me) or them for not having them on?

And wat about ppl who don't indicate? last thing ive heard is that its to preserve the bulbs....

And being a P plater is pretty much survival of the fittest most of the time for me, everyone treats you with so much disrispect that we are forced to fight to be acknowledged.


Like the lion king, simba had to kick sum ass to become king, if he didn't then he would still be down there doing jack all, while Mustafa takes his Nala? from him.

so true! today on dandenong road (just outside of chadstone), there was a female driver in her little holden astra, was applying lipstick (thats orright i guess)...BUT she had swivelled her rear vision mirror to face her (guess she doesn't have a visor mirror or doesn't like using it)...and to make it even worse, attempts to change lanes, most likely without checking any of her mirrors or the obligatory headcheck as she nearly caused a 4 car pileup. guess where she was going? chadstone shopping centre.

and still insurance company premiums charge us fellas more! (but then there are a lot more testosterone charged draggers/hooners out there on the roads).

imo, regardless of how much driving experience you have, you should never be complacent out there on the road. more often than not, someone else will cause the accident, but damage is damage. and your health is more important than being able to look like a fully sikkant driver steering with their knees while making obscene gestures with your hands at the ladies in the car next to you

If THEY ever panic, you should do a dive out of the car i think

With my experiences of females driving a car, they panic at the most tiniest mistakes causing even more panic..

just rip the handbrake if that happens, will save the trouble of removing parts out of the tree

Insurance companies do everything by the numbers, and it comes down to more men have worse accidents in more expensive cars.

I know if I met me as a P plater driving around me now as a fairly experienced driver, I'd be scared. God I took some risks. I came out OK, but doing things like 120km/h in mud with the diff lock in and a 6' sheer drop off a few inches to either side of the car... I'm surprised I'm still alive, and that the worst accident I ever had was me doing a hundred meters or so down a dirt road on 2 wheels after discovering a cattle crossing in the middle of a corner.

Yeah, that's not representative of all P platers, but what it really comes down to is exactly as Webby says... P platers aren't experienced at unusual situations.

hahahaha, na thats just you James!

One thing that does piss me off, yes i agree there are lots of fuckwit P Platers, i also want to go and slash their tyres, but it's the general attitude held by the community that all P Platers a fkn morons.

EG. I got pulled over last year for speeding . . . . the car next to me (full licenced guy) was doing exact same speed, right in the lane next to me, I asked the cop why he didn't pull over the other guy, and he told me because I was a P Plater, I was more dangerous. Thanks alot you fkn tool.

So now I have to do the speed limit, esp up the mountains cause there are heaps of cops. Let me say, I usually get over taken by almost every car on the road, because everyone else thinks they can do more then the speed limit. But I ca assure you if I was speeding like them, they'd think I'm a dickhead P Plater.

School zones are fkn unbelievable! As I said i have to do 40km/h, but ffs, anyone behind me is on my fkn ass (so i slow down more to piss the ******s off), or they go past at about 60.
I can say with complete confidence Mothers with Kids in the car are by far the worst offenders, yet if anyone else decided to go fast, theyd be the first complaining, saying their kids are in danger from speeding.

The 0.00 alcohol limit is another state government fuckup. What was the old limit? 0.02 . . how much is that? . . SHIT ALL! It was there to allow for stuff like mouthwashes and fruit cake.
But now peoples lives can be greatly screwed because of the new rule. If you cannot prove beyond doubt that you did not consume alcohol, you get a nice criminal record, a suspension of your licence, and a nice big fine. All for doing nothing wrong.

Anyway I have more to say but I have to go to work.

BTW does anyone know . . if i drive to Vic, do I still have to do 90km/h or so my NSW speed restriction not count . . . because the Vic cops can't charge me with NSW laws. Just wondering?


Posted by bragi on Jun-17-2004 07:27:

Mothers With Kids are the most dangerous thing I've ever observed on a road. I've seen a mother only by luck miss 2 kids while she was speeding on the wrong side of the road to get to the head of the queue to pick up her kid. Unbelievable.

Far more dangerous than anything else on the road actually.

Oh, and 0.02 was actually introduced to allow tollerance for medicines that contain alcohol. So don't go driving if you have cough syrup, OK? Dangerous bastards who drive while whacked out on cough syrup.

more like for medicine that IS alcohol.

I just feel the need to chime in with my 2 cents here....

First of all... Yes P Platers are the most inexperienced on the roads, you can't argue with that, and when some weird shit comes up its often.. interesting to see what happens. (The other day I drove over an oil slick on the road for the first time.. very wierd)

Second... But when it comes to P Platers being the most aggressive.. I think that's bs. The people I find to be the most aggressive are the people that drive too much.. like taxi's and van's and things like that.. some of those people just push and push until you practically pull over and wait for them to F.U.C.K off. (Oh and btw.. sydney drivers are all pricks, went there once.. never again)

Thirdly.. By far the worst drivers I find are old. asian (no mean to be racist.. but its true). women. They can't park for shit (I know better than most (I work in a shopping center carpark), and they do just plain dumb things on the road.. and then they get confused and just make it worse.. and then they get scared and then its a disaster. (I once saw an old asian lady drive down the off ramp of a freeway.. and then she got confused and tried to do a 3 point turn on it (with people banking up cause it was buisy) and then she got scared and drove half the car off the edge and was stuck there.. (suffice the say that exit ramp was closed for a long time in peak hour)

just to feed the stereotypical flames some more fuel...(although in most cases, in my experience, its the truth!)

Posted by G`Dave on Jun-17-2004 10:20:

That's exactly right... As I said I work in carparks and they can't park for shit... and jumping with the accelerator is true as well.. then they just go back and that last jump puts them into the back of another car and breaks some taillights.. then they get scared and drive off and hope no one saw.. which everyone did)

(God listen to me.. I sound like such a racist prick.. -they-, entirly un-intertional, I'm not like that.)
