That's right, I got my full license today! I guess I'm no longer labeled a hoon by default. It was a sad moment removing my P plates tonight, it's like a part of me is missing.
Anyways congrats to me, I held my P's for 3 years and 2 months, lost my license 3 times, accumulated 23 demerit points and around $4000 in fines. Vic Roads and Victoria Police must love me. Take care on the roads people and if you feel the need to let off some steam or smoke Visit Heathcote Park Raceway or Calder Park Raceway and go nuts. Have a good weekend all. Damo :evil3: |

fantz the majority of my infringements were within the first year of having my license and most were within 15km's of the speed limit but pretty much i'm very lucky to have my license and to actually have my full license. I have learnt a hell of a lot in the last 3 years and I know that a license is a right not a privelage. I'm up at heathcote quite a lot as I like the drive up there and go more for the burnouts then the drags, and the staff love telling me off now. :thebirds:
I made this post cause i was happy about getting my full license and as a warning to others who think it is ok to play up on public roads because it is NOT and you will get caught, I was just one of the lucky ones. :Reverend: |

Good stuff Damo. I remember when I got off my Ps (April last year). It was good that I would no longer be regarded as a maniac P-plater but sad that the chicks don't notice me as much anymore. Damo, it sounds similar to me how most of your infringements were in the first year, although I definately wasn't as extreme. I got 4 demerit points in the first 6 months of my Ps and haven't had one since. Gotta love having 0 demerit points these days!

This is compared with me, who lost 0 demerit points and never got pulled over once on my P's. We even drove the same car.
