L/P plates - how do you wear them?

[stonecold]

Driving instructors RIP you hard... are your parents unable to teach you?

Yeah, but I don't want to learn off them.  They will be annoying.  And if I crash, there will be yelling!

Or better yet, just get magnetic ones.

I'm not sure if you're allowed to use other state's plates in Vic. And magnetic ones fall off?

They will have Victorian ones as well I am sure.  And I thought magnets were strong.  :S

Probably worth taking a visit to AutoBahn or SuperCheapAuto.  I am sure you're not the first person to run into this problem and they would have to have some kind of solution.

[kendraaaaa]

It's not that hard, if the tint is covering your P-plates then move them a little lower? I don't know I must be missing something.

I have these cool plates where they just stick magically, with no suction and they're not magnetic either. They're reallly thin and feel silky LOL. Know what I mean?

Supercheapauto is like my favourite place... it has EVERYTHING. From seat covers to steering wheels to numberplate anti-theft protectors!

I feel you

Yes... i have about 10 sets of those

[Yitzi_K]

erm, i put my p's on the front and back?
haha, i didn't know there was a way to 'wear them'
although mine are fucking annoying because the suction caps always fall off. oh wells

Little tip - before you put the suction thingies on, spit on them. Mine used to fall off constantly, but since I did that I've never had that problem again.

As for how I 'wear' them, they're both in the very top right corner of their respective screens.

surprised you toorakians don't have some stylish way to hang them to be in touch with your amazing Hogwartsish school hahaha

 haha, shut it! schools over now. ~yeah we totz hang them backwards~

I do! And water...and everything. Nothing works. I have the non suction ones but ehh. My car needs a good fucking clean. SO much school stuff in there i want to get out!

Unfortunately it's fairly unavoidable, they basically just teach you how to pass your drive test. I don't think anyone actually does 120 hours of professional driving, that would be ridiculously expensive.

Btw does anyone know if L platers can take passengers? I always thought you could but my dads friend said its not allowed.
And is there a maximum speed L platers can drive? I thought it was like 80 or something but I see Ls on the freeway driving 100..

L platers can take on passengers.

And there's no maximum speed limit for L platers in Victoria (this is not the case interstate, but if you're not moving there or not getting your licence there, then you don't need to worry about that).

Just think of it this way. L's is the same as a full license with someone who has a full license in the passenger seat. There is no restrictions on vehicles with the power to weight ratio bs P's have (so you can drive the most powerful car known to man, dumb yeah?), number of passengers or speed limit. I don't think it's safe to drive above 130 as most tyres are not created to withstand that speed without significant damage and/or risk.

[Russ]

I don't think there are 130+ zones. Highest I've ever seen is 110 on rural highways

[m@tty]

There are some remote roads which are UNLIMITED.  8-)

[Tan]

Oh. I've been avoiding the freeway because I heard the speed limit for L's was 80. <_<

[m@tty]

Nah, that's NSW.

[Eriny]

NSW has really crazy/stupid laws (speed limits, your P/L plates have to be outside the car for some reason). They aren't quite as strict as ours, but they are much stupider.
