smooth sailing really although was never on P's which seem to give other drivers a good excuse to cut you off (my girlfriend is a P plater). Had a couple of close calls but you learn and move on.

dude, you live very close to me! As you can see, i'm in Sandy! anyways...

smooth sailing so far (touch wood) Been driving a 1991 Pulsar Hatch (1.6l, 57kw's ) since getting my P's in Feb 2002. No accidents and no speeding fines (touch wood) So that's... 2 and a bit years, but for the remainder of my P's (bout 7-8 months) i'll be in a R34 GT-T, so hopefully i've got enough experience under my belt for things to go alright with my baby. I've never driven a Skyline so this is going to be a bit of a jump, i think an advanced driving course is in order

And about bikes? For the longest time i thought bikes had a different speed limit. I shit you not. I would constantly see bikes doing at least 20-30km+ speed limit, weaving in and out of lanes. Of course now i know they abide by the same rules, but as much as i agree that drivers don't take as much as care as the should on the roads (especially with bikes). Car drivers aren't the only ones to blame here, i've seen just as many stupid acts by bike drivers as well, most noticably the "weaving" in and out of lanes. Shocking practise i think, when most the time it is done at a higher speed than the limit. I think some bikers are asking for trouble the way they ride. I def think there should be more awareness from car drivers, but also don't think it's a one-way street/argument/discussion/whatever in regards to awareness.

And rrrage, i sooooo agree with you. When learning, doing tests, etc, you head check your head off (ass doesn't quite work ) But when driving with parents, they don't head check, don't indicate, don't fully stop at stop signs. Just habits ppl get into after years of driving. Get complacent. Worse one i see is cutting corners in surburban streets, asking for trouble. Even if it's 3am in the morning, and i can see for miles in either direction, and no-one is on the road, i still head check. I just hope i don't grow out of the habit.

cheers.

Tried drifting my front wheel drive calibra in the wet a few years ago ended up scraping a trafic light and then straight on to the road bars, thats when i decided i had to buy a skyline. Lucky insurance covered the $9500 damage. Road was very poor quality so i guess after all it wasnt all my fault!!
