L-plater not behind Hume accident?

Posted by: 2UE | 25 January, 2012 - 7:26 AM

A radical new approach to young driver training?

Investigations into the horrific crash on the Hume continue, as police reveal an L-Plate driver was not in the way of the truck. A caller to 2UE reveals what they saw & Jason Morrison looks at scrapping the limits for learners.

Should L and P plate drivers learn to drive 110km/hr rather than waiting til they're on a full license? Have Your Say!

I'm a full licenced driver 42yr old male from the A.C.T.
I recently got my learners for a motorcycle which I can do 100kp/h in the A.C.T. As soon as I cross the border into N.S.W. riding my bike my top speed is limited to 80 as I'm on my L's.
Try driving in country N.S.W. with some 4WD towing a horse float itching to get past on a country road sitting 3 meters off your back wheel.
I have had this happen a few times and it's quite nerve racking, so now I do the posted speed limits weather it's 100 or 110 in N.S.W.
Until till I get my P's I would rather get a speeding ticket on my L's than to be run over and become road kill.
8Okp/h limit is dangerous for the learner and other road users.

I helped teach my three children to drive, the youngest spent every second weekend on the M4. as he gained confidence, i had him drive at 95 km/h...i took the risk but he was far, far safer on thar road albeit still slower than most drivers and he was a far safer driver once on his P plates - driving slower than on his L's

Q: What's worse than slow L Platers?
A: Slow full licence drivers they have NO excuse for being mobile road blocks!

Evil triumphs when good men say nothing! Wednesday 25 January, 2012 - 8:25 PM
As a Qlder my opinion
To teach someone to drive at 80 in a 110klm zone is dangerous to everyone else except them. It is stupid. You teach them to drive at the speed of the road. What moron came up with that rule???
