i dont judge people for driving a manual licence instead of auto, its their choice.
My concern is that if you were involved in an accident, are the insurace company liable for your damage?
correct me if im wrong here......
i know when i was on my "p" and only driving a cortina (4.1L) 250 crossflow the cops were forever fulling me over and giving me a hard time. I even got to know some of the cops by first name. Driving home from my ex down sydney rd used to do it for me all the time.
what the cops didnt know then, because the car is so old...a 1973model. 6cylinder cant be driven on "p" plates. they say becasue of the power/weight ratio....
anyhow i drove the car for 3 years on my 'p' but never fined for the supposed rule. dont know if its the same now though. i guess it would be.
After i got off my 'p' i was driving the same car for a futher 2 years and never once got pulled over by the cops.....so my experience is that YES the cops give P Platers a hard time....
