A lot more involved to it all than what you know at 50 hours slip.... I could teach a chimp all road rules at 5 hours, doesn't make chimp 'a good driver' necessarily.i have legit done like 110 hours. its a pain in the arse. you basically know everything there is to know at fifty.
I know it seems 'hard' people, and that you perhaps feel badly done by and overwhelmed by the sheer hours, but try and take some effort at this, heck 120hours - 120 days, do two hours a day then your through sooner still.
The graduated licensing system is harmonising around Australia, and its focus is on the defensive driver components. You will find the program is similar to that taught in EU, even Germany. Your up for 3K to obtain your license in some of those places.
In NSW? - DO download and read the "Road Users Handbook", its this jurisdictions primary road user manual. Other states have similar.
Not difficult.
I expect we'll see some design changes over time to the log books, including requiring Odometer readings, we'll see.
Take the task of learning-to-drive as that, not merely as the 'getting a license' cop out. Have some pride in your effort, and wear the plates with pride too - once you've earn't them. (Duh, water is wet).
Politically, I intend advocating through the appropriate channels, for the re-testing of 'knowledge-of-road rules' those drivers who have had their licenses suspended owing points, incl full license holders.
