My Driving Test

After much nervousness, panicking etc...I PASSED! I didn't pass with flying colours, but my examiner said my driving is great, just my manouvers can do with a bit of polishing up. It'll all come with experience now. According to West Australian road laws, I now have to complete 25 hours of supervised driving, completing a log book in the process, before I can get my provisional license (P plates). I still have to be on my L plates (Learner) until I complete those 25 hours. But I can drive wherever I want. With someone like me though, who wouldn't drive very far, into the city at most (a half hour trip) it's going to take me a looooong time to rack up those 25 hours. But still, I can drive wherever I want now! And I don't really mind someone else being in the car with me. Gets me ready for when I need to drive alone. So..thanks to all the people that wished me luck! It's greatly appreciated! :)

you have to be on your provisional licence for 2 years. It kinda sucks, but you can do pretty much whatever a normal driver does, except for the blood alcohol limit is lower. Which is fair enough seeing as though most P plate drivers are under the age of 18.

Do you have to keep your P plates on for the 2 years or can you take them off before then?

nah, they have to stay on, i think if you get caught without them its a huge fine and loss of demerit points

Wow. We don't have all of that here. We have the Learner's Permit, but that is mainly for minors. And once you get a License that is all you need. CONGRATULATIONS, LUNA!!!!! :D
