Aus Government = Devil Options

Ok so the Australian car licencing system is like this:

At 16years old you get your "L"s, that means you can only do upto 80km/h and you have to have a full license driver next to you.
At 17yrs (and after 50hrs and 6months experience) you can go for your red "P"s, you now need no driver next to you and you can go up to 90.
Then at some point (i forget when) you can get your green "P"s, which means you can goto 100.
Then after that you can get your full license.

I have no problem with this (apart from it takes ages). But now the gov wants to intro a cerfew (10:00pm) to P drivers (i think its only red) and that they can only have one passanger and no "hotted up" cars are allowed. This just pisses me off, i work which usually means i dont get home till after 10. Also i want to get a nice car. Also by some wild chance i have more than one friend.

OSIRIS angry!!! OSIRIS SMASH!!!!

well in oregon, its highly recommended that when we get the permit (at the age of 15+) to take a drivers ed course to help reduce crashes and insurance and such. and ur only allowed to drive when u have a permit with someone 21 or older with a drivers license more than 3 years. then when u get the drivers license no one outside your immediate family (meaning no relatives) for 6 months AND you also have a curfew of 10 o clock unless u have a job that u work longer than that and u dont need a note but u need the phone number handy for the manager (never effected me really, never had a job till i got my full license) and then when u get your full license u dont have a curfew nemore but ur limited to 3 passengers in your vehicle (doesnt affect me either, celi only has 3 other seat belts) and ur not allowed to have engine swaps to added 2x more hp, and no turbo, supercharger or high hp mods and have strict laws on lowering until u A) pay off your car in full (which i have like 2k left on my car, really sucks) and then all the high hp mods law doesnt effect you (and i've checked all the auto insurances, they're all the same for ppl in oregon my age) and or b) 24 years of age or older then hp mods dont matter neither... im getting really slammed right now cuz im wanting atleast a 2.0" drop and im trying to get intouch with my insurance agent. muhaha this is my longest post *wewt.
