Yeah been studying for trials... physics must have been on my mind too much.
As for driving in the country- I've never lived in the city in my life, so I don't need someone from Sydney to tell me what its like to drive here. That 300m which you can supposedly see (maybe you can see around corners or hills? I dunno, I can't...) really means f/a to that roo hiding in the bushes that jumps out just as you reach it, or to that 400kg steer that just stepped into your headlights staring at you like a stunned mullet. Don't get me wrong, I don't sit on 90 when I'm on a road that I know there are no cops on, because that just holds up the other drivers, but I never, ever go at stupid speeds. I've seen way too many people total their cars on seemingly safe roads (not P-platers either, but thats another story) to listen to anyone say that its OK to speed. But as for the topic of this thread- I've never seen the ads, but I do know that a lot of P-platers do drive like fuckwits, mainly because they have nfi how to drive. I know people who never even sat behind the wheel of a car till they got their L's, then get their P's just a few months later. Thats dangerous if you ask me. and no, I'm saying they should increase the hours on L's, that won't do f/a, I don't know the answers and I don't think you'll ever fix it. I learned the hard way. I used to bash the shit out of the utes when I was younger, but I used to have to incur the wrath of Dad when he saw what I'd done. I learned to take a bit more care pretty damn quick. But the thing is, I was a lot younger than 16 (about half that) when I learned to drive, so I learned from an early age that if you fuck around with cars you will get hurt. 5 kids killing themselves near home from rolling a ute with half of them in the back may have helped too...
