We keep our P's for three years, but there are little restrictions. We don't have to wear P plates, we don't have speed restrictions. We do have a zero tolerance on alcohol and only four points. Though all this changes come July. Anyone who obtains their licence after July has a whole lot of restrictions put in place, quite similar to NSW.
diamond_girl: Just because P platers "know the rules better" does not make them better drivers. Sure there are exceptions out there, but ALL P platers are inexperienced, that's what makes them P platers.
