Good on you champ make sure you keep the licence! I'm on my Ls still, until August 4th. I copped the 120 hours, and so far I've done 80 hours, and roughly 6,000km I think. Too hard to read that loser book, I mean learner book. :P

congrats on the license mate, but as been a young p-plater driver and having seen and done a lot more then most freshly fully licensed drivers. please drive safe, dont hoon, if your into going hard through corners dont push it mate, all it takes is a kick of the throttle for the tail to come out or a small bump to send the car into a slide (had this happen to me nearly cost me 2 of my mates and my own life)
enjoy the freedom mate, it's a great feeling best advice i have for you? learn your car and take it one step at a time, you will get the most fun out of it this way ;) |

WD on acquiring your probationary license.
Enjoy your driving, but drive safely.

Congrats mate. Getting ya p's also comes along with making correct decisions, and being responsible. Your car can be a very enjoyable machine, taking crusies, fixing it up etc, but at the same it can become a deadly death weapon. Just remember that.
Happy Birthday mate.

congrats dude, i only recently got mine (4 months ago) altho im 22 i got done being a dick when i was younger, but its made me more responsible and working for a car rental company i drive cars all day (aprox 5000k's a week) and i tell ya working at the airport with all the overseas drivers makes you learn how to handle a car pretty well, tho nothing can beat defensive driving training.
lets all hope nothing bad happens like that 18 year old in his dads bmw who killed 4 of his mates driving off an embankment at the end of a runway and into a tree. but seeing as your not in a commodore im confident on your driving ;)
