Over 21 perhaps? People over 21 go straight to the green P's when they pass their test.

wow.. i did not know that..

lol so 21 year olds are MENT to be responsible straight away with a car lol?

They're still on their greens.

And stopping 21+ year olds from driving with more than one under 21yo seems a bit silly.

Exactly. Take me for example, I'm 25 and lost my licence nearly 2 years ago. Why would I care if they put me on reds (short of having to wait an extra year) and stopped me from carrying more than one <21yo in my car?

None of my mates are under 21, at least none that I hang out with on a regular basis.

There is no such thing as Straight to green p's now unless you are still under the old law before July 2007 I think (If you got your learners before that date then yes you would go straight on)...

I know this cos I called them up and they told me something like that! Im 21 and still on my red p's cos I did the stupid thing of not getting my license when I lived in portugal!! failll :P

And the law has changed, red p platers arnt allowed from the age of 16 to 22 which was previously 16 to 21...

When did she get her learners? was it ages ago before the red p's law came out?? Cos i tried everything, i tried to wait until 21 but then the new law came out, i tried to get it converted to green when i turned 21 and they told me nahh

EDIT:

Just found it in one of vic roads pdf's...

If you are over 21 you go straight one...

Humm i better recheck my case then cos since april im 21 and they told me nah, u gotta stay on ur reds! grrrr...

Just called them up and what they said was if u get ur license before 21 u will have 1 year of red p's... so if u get ur license the day before ur 21st bday then ull cop the year on reds...

I guess that means that someone exactly the same age as me (21) but with no road expirience gets less restrictions then me if the get there license today... how can this work out?? load of crap really...

stupid laws really, like how you can learn to drive with a turbo car, but once you get your license, you can't drive that car anymore.

It works out because they have to draw the line somewhere when they are creating new laws. And you can drive any vehicle on your L plates because you are supposed to have a responsible teacher by your side who would not let you speed / drag / lose control with a powerful vehicle. Also, learner drivers are declared to be some of the safest drivers on the road (as long as they are learning at the time and not going for solo joy rides).

wow.. i did not know that..

18 year olds are meant to be responsible straight away with a car :(

so question, can i teach my girlfriend to drive a manual car legally?

she's on her p's, but auto only.

^^ I'm on the same boat, anyone can answer this?

The laws go weird with this case cos:

-No/Invalid Plates = FINE and points I think

-Driving manual on a auto license = FINE

So can you drive manual on p's with an instructor next to you? Would that be going against the law since when you get on p's there is no such thing as instructor, example: you cant have an instructor next to you to drive turbo's/v8's on p's....

Grrrr, guess calling up vic roads is the best way...

Nah, you gotta leave your P's up, but print out/write on yellow paper "driver under instruction", and you're still under the same restriction as a p plater. I was in the same boat so I called up vicroads a while ago.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      R34 Diff oil

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
