I did 50 hours in 4 months.
Now i'm up to 7 months of holding my Ls, with 70 hours.
Manual too
Whats your point? 10 hours per month.... it proves its not easy to get your hours up.... certainly cant to 100 hours in 6 months.
I think its true.... MOST P-platers have the skills to drive, you dont pass the p's test if your retarded. The problem realistically IMO lies in friends! Once your on your own theirs no mum or dad to watch out for you and often, well at least from my experience, you can get easily distracted and before you know it your not on the same course anymore. Or alternatively some people see the need to show off when their friends are either in the car or watching them from another car or whatever, and this obviously can lead to disaster.
If I was personally thinking of a way to reduce youth deaths on the road, I would start by making it so they cant have anyone in the car with them (obviously I wouldnt want this, but it would be the best way) on their reds at least.... this would be a better solution then the 100 hours bullshit.... this way people can still drive to meet their commitments like work they just cant have friends in the car. Theyd obviously have to make exceptions for family though. And some would say 'but they once they get their greens they will still get distracted' - but the difference is by then they will have enough driving experience by themselves to either maintain a steady course while distracted, not get distracted in the first place, and hopefully not try to impress friends because te novelty of driving alone has died off.
I would really like to see the stats on when p-plater crashes occur (fatal crashes that is)..... I guarrantee that they mainly occur at night due to the above factors I mentioned not because they are shit drivers.
SHIT> Does this mean i need to get my Ls, like NOW!?!
No, it means you should read the entire thread and actually realise that they aernt brining the 100 hours in before talking shit
