5 seconds appies when pulling out from the kerb. (Shoulder check etc). Then, "sufficient warning" applies for other moves. (Shoulder check, lane changes, diverging left or right, when using slip lanes etc). 2 flashes (clicks) for a lane change, especially for faster roads is *not*...

Very good, but remember too that 80% of crashes occure below the current speed-limits. And that has bugger all to do with any 'requirement' for a radar detector. Avoid 'speed-limit conditioning', but accept legal maximums apply in 99% of cases, often - you genuinely need to be below the...

What you need are new tyres, those that are 'out of round' will typically tell you by shuddering/shaking the car at between 105-120km/h. Some wise cracks should note *some* folk have incriminated themselves in online forums, and it can happen here with the boastings. What matters to me...

Well put Katie - its part of the growing emphasis on the 'defensive driving' component; to anticipate trouble *before* it otherwise jumps out at you.

Illegal in most Australian States and Territories except Western Australia. Here in NSW the fine exceeds $1,000 for simply having it the car, switched off on the floor! Police can, and will detect 99% of these devices, so be careful. I personally see no reason why they are prohibited...

Re: Green P's test... Some find it 'difficult', yet might be IT employees, go figure... The emphasis on 'graduated licensing systems' developing around AUS - is on the "defensive driver component", that is appropriate and is where the rest of the world team is heading. In AUS, this model is...

It has happened and is a reality, in effect the operator might 'ride' the 'young male' P platers rear, or gently rev up alongside, 'some' pea brains take the bait as an invitation to road race, - only to be pulled up, naturally. Yes, of course its not the majority or rather 'condoned'...

NSW readers should make effort at reading the "Road Users' Handbook", it is this states primary driver manual for ALL road users. You can down load a Pdf version, 4.01mb here: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/downloads/2007_10ruh_english.pdf But, in my personal view your much better...

Indicating LEFT off a roundabout is 'where practicable', this means you do so on the typically 'larger' roundabouts, - rather than say on some much smaller residential versions. The 'requirement' btw is taught everywhere in the world, from India, South America (img-rev), UK, HK China, EU...

Persecution complex mebbe? The 'plates' signal to other drivers your actual on-road experience. This allows you to avoid certain fully licensed lunatics who might then, on spotting your P plates, attempt a degree of caution around you,- than would be the case if you didn't display them...

Every RTA registry has the STOP sign, its part of the trick used to catch out candidate drivers. The word is STOP, and so ye must. 10km/h SHARED traffic zones are another, you need to literally idle along its length.

The additional time isn't that bad people, had a few put through it up here on the NSW CC. NEW "Road Users Handbook" including the latest NSW P rule changes is available from the link below, you can save this to your PC, its Pdf and 4.1mb in size. I suggest a read and read again:-...

L and P1/P2 plates are only meant to signal to other road users the drivers actual on-road experience, that they might make mistakes etc blah blah blah. Putting on your sisters L's, and then driving say 'at speed',- will only create more noise demanding even greater punitive actions against...

Observing (for eons now:-), only just bothered signing up to respond as needed.

AND typically with a 'tourist' inspired 70km/h speed limit. Nice troll?
