Hey guys, noob question but as I am relatively new to this site, how does one obtain respect? 
Just going to clarify StupidProdigy's post but essentially for every +3 votes = 0.4 respect (likewise if you get -3 votes = -0.4 respect).
Every vote after that equals 0.4 respect (so if you had 4 votes = 0.8 respect, 5 votes = 1.2 respect etc.)
It's explained a bit better here in b^3 post back in the day!
Re: how does the respect system work??Lol my parents didn't want me to go for my L's until I turned 18 but I started studying one month before I turned 16 lol desperate.
But then I made them let me do it.
But I still haven't done any hours (they really don't want me to drive) LOL
How many hours have you guys done? 
Haha but you could have just done the practice test online like twice a day for two weeks instead and that would have been enough instead of studying for it LOL
Though you should try and start driving soon (maybe to school or whatnot if you can) since 120 hours is a long time

I can't remember the exact time but I'm 50+ hours though I wish I'd gotten 120 by Summer Holidays (now I'll have to get it sometime next year or after VCE) >.<
