this thread should motivate me to get my p's .

cant do anything with my parents in the car

 

[veterandoggy]

motivate? MOTIVATE?? hit the car then see how motivated you will feel >.>

(sure, you gotta hit it SOME day, but on your P's isnt the best time...)

^ dudeeeeeeee.... chillax

 

[MuffinMan]

well with the new laws with red p's theres not really much incentive for me to slow down.

 

[veterandoggy]

^ dudeeeeeeee.... chillax

well, the first thing i tell young people who are with me when i go slightly over the limit is "do as i say, not as i do. and what i say is to not speed".

haha nice, you're on greens?

the thing is, I'm on my reds so if i speed in between 1-20km/hr i get the same consequences

3 months suspension.


So if I'm going to go over 1km/hr I might as well go over 20km/hr

 

[veterandoggy]

but then you'll go over 20 without noticing then get slapped with a 30km/h+ fine

and yeah, i'm on my greens till the end of this year =\

 

[MuffinMan]

awesome, but the thing is, can they put the new rules on us? It's like well since I got my licence before that date, it's pretty stupid to say that you can't take passengers after 11pm. Does it have to be printed on the back?

 

[veterandoggy]

if it isnt written on your license then it doesnt apply to you, unless it is something made universal (ie 0 BAC limit).

i think they were talking about making it for green platers too, so that would probably include us.

 

[MuffinMan]

so i can take passengers with me after 11pm on like 2nd july?

 

[veterandoggy]

i'm not sure, since i havent been following it. but if i get pulled over by a cop that weekend i'll let you know

 

[CieL]

hah.. doesn't make a difference for me either way..

 

[MuffinMan]

neither have I.

I've already

a) sped (well I was late for work, so I have an excuse), the others were late at night.
b) talked on a mobile phone (I couldn't find a place to pull over at that time)

saying that I usually stick to the speed limit if it's in the day and if I'm not overtaking someone. I *had* to be at work on time otherwise they deduct my pay lol. :-/

haha gosh youre a fucking menace on the road

 

[MuffinMan]

haha gosh youre a fucking menace on the road

I HAD to be there otherwise I get fired??????
or my pay deducted.
and the mobile phone is usually to get directions to somewhere.
usually pull over if i can though

it's not like i call people to have a chat while driving.

 

[Legham]

What's wrong with chatting while you drive? I've done it many a time.

 

[jemsta]

im pretty sure chatting with a passenger is a lot different to chatting on the phone.
thank god for my loudspeaker

 

[CieL]

Yeah.. I only talk on the phone for directions tho.. I call someone, put it on loudspeaker, then put it on my lap

I'm pretty sure most of us have sped and/or talked on the phone at least once in our driving lives..

 

[MuffinMan]

oh i've never used loudspeaker
might try though.

right hand: phone left hand drive

or if manual

left hand phone/gear change
right hand steering wheel lol.

but yeah i use the phone while driving only when I NEED to.
dangerous lol. Especially smsing. It's not safe to do so even if you've stopped at the traffic light.

 

[veterandoggy]

youre wierd...

i hold the phone in my right hand (less obvious from behind) and steer/change gears with my left. yes, i wouldnt be touching the steering wheel for a second or so, but i wouldnt need to. the joy of aligned/balanced wheels...
