Is it still 90kph on P's or is there a difference between red & green?
L Plates are 80
P1 plates are 90
P2 plates are 100

Unfortunately I fit into one of the holes in your ranges 22 years, couldn't have been any longer as I got my licence on my 18th birthday.

Kinda like a Darwin theory of (Driving) evoloution. The older ones here are still around because we've survived

30yrs
Got my full licence (there wasnt any such thing as a P licence) at 16yrs old.
Dont tell anyone, but it was a 17yr old CHICK that taught me to drive!
Besides my mum regularly letting me drive the '67 Falcon home for the last few km's when I was 14. What a thrill. Loved that XR have wanted one ever since but never bought one... :
