SOUTH AUSTRALIA RIDICULOUS LICENCE SCHEME

(Pic is pig at a car meet, there was one driving around before pulling everyone over)

Turn 16 - get learners. You have to do 75 hours of driving with a patent then a driving test and then a hazard test

Turn - 17 Get P plates. Can drive alone but can't drive V8s or turbos. Can only have 1 passenger, can't drive from 12-5am, no hands free phones. Limited to 100kmh, must have 0.00 alcohol limit. Must display P plates (literally police bait)

Turn - 18 Get P2s, same as Ps but don't have to display p plates and can have more than 1 passenger.

Turn 20. Finally can get full license then drive but Australia's driving laws are bullshit and you will loose your license for a little skid. (Some guy did a burnout in a carpark and got banned from driving for life because he was the head of a car club and car enthusiasts get treated worse by police than pedophiles and rapists.

Cool story bro

ALSO NO ENGINE MODIFICATIONS ALLOWED SO YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO PUT A DIFFERENT MUFFLER ON BECAUSE THAT ADDS TOO MUCH POWER.

>190kw V6 is fine to drive
>old ass 170kw V8 is too dangerous

>ITT: "wahh I'm still underage and can't have fun in my car. This is ridiculous! Why I this even le allowed XDDDD"

Tell me something I don't know.

Hahahahahahahah fucking Australia a shit.
What makes me laugh is you can't drive turbos or v8s until you are 18.,god I love being American

>be ausfag
>motorbikes and cars
>speed lots of the time
>do dumb shit lots of the time
>never had a demerit point or anything

there's a time a place noob. learn it and you'll be fine.

>cars and guns both heavily restricted in Australia
I'd rather die than live there

>go to school, get shot
>go to church, get shot
>go to a protest, get shot
>go to a movie theatre, get shot
>go to uni, get shot
>go to wallmart, hold a toy gun, get shot

meanwhile in aus, i can go where i like, when i like without getting shot, including going to the range and shooting a bunch of different rifles at targets, go hunting with shot guns and rifles, or go to a pistol range and shoot there.

i'll take aus anyday over your shit 3rd world cuntry.

lol butthurt

whoa there mate, calm down: just because you live in authoritarian state where wanting basic liberties and privileges is against the laws doesn't mean you should shit on other people.

now don't you have some refugees to go bend over for

sorry, whats that? you're 7th? oh...

australia, more free than the USA
eeeevry fucking day.

this assblasted

as they say, non are moe enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free - some cunt

>mericans all day every day

>Some guy did a burnout in a carpark and got banned from driving for life

that's sad

A country that does not acknowledge the citizens' right to bear arms is not free at all. New Zealand is alright I guess

>right
>to bear arms

Arms are a privilege, not a right.

>i can go where i like
Apparently not.

but we do have guns in Australia. I have three.
Guns are limited and restricted in a similar way as cars are.

time to buy some concrete mate. Think that's good?

>Do all that
>then get motorbike L's
>cant use mounted gps or phone, 0.00 alcohol level, bike must be under x power/weight
>despite driving for 10 years

I understand that driving=/=riding but responsibility is responsibility. Why cant i use a gps? Why cant i ride 6kms from the city to home on almost perfectly straight roads with 2 beers sloshing about?

>Sir you're a learner, it's your right to get lost in the middle of nowhere and get killed by a wallaby, but the second you used that GPS you became the enemy of the state.

>130kW/ton restriction
>only for cars made after 1/1/2010
I want to be mad about this but I can't be. It's better but it doesn't apply to anything that matters.

I think that was the point.

>amend the laws but in a way that changes almost nothing
>problem_solvered.exe

>more freedom than America
>can't do a skid
>can't drive a V8 until adult
>can't modify engine
>can't use GPS on motorcycle
>freedom
ahahahaha

Both are too restricted if you ask me. Australia didn't have a gun problem before or after Port Arthur and what that shithead bastard Howard did didn't help anyone.

If you have to write it down it's not really freedom is it.

You have to write them down because otherwise bureaucrats will try to take them away. IIRC the French thought that the right to bear arms was self evident so they didn't bother to put it on paper and look where they are now.

Look at it this way, all that shit you'd spend on improving your car or whatever is just money saved. Get a shitty, boring econobox to last until 20 and then buy your fun car of your dreams with your 4 years of savings.

Turn lemons into lemonaid nigga.

And then get the fuck off Veeky Forums you need to be 18 to post here.

Have a sook m8
In Vic our restrictions are almost the same but you can't drive solo until you're 18 and don't get off your Ps until 22.

Maaatttteeee im a kiwi (new zealander) and ive had my full car licence since 17, got my class 2 HT (truck licence) at 18 no restrictions for power or cylinders, you can be 16 with as many cylinders and as much bhp as you want, dont bitchh and moan about laws you cant change, just jump the ditch come chill out, have a wendy a few billys and go for a cruze in whatever you want, they also dont test your saliva for weed or meth when you get pulled over in nz, its fuckin awesome mate

>Time
When the cops aren't looking
>Place
Where there are no cops

Wow you just figured out how victimless crimes of "potential harm" work congrats

according to canadians loud and roudy fun, offensive opinions, and weird porn are not freedums, but being a abbo bum and becoming a business owner is a huge indicator of "economic freedumb", even if it's achieved with handouts.

don't trust a country that made anime illegal

Why the fuck do you strayans use kW as a measure in real world?
I mean, we europeans use the kW as the formal measurement of power but seriously, nobody says "uh, my car has x kW..."

>no source

Bait at its best

Because it's more accurate than using livestock as a measurement.

>be australian
>dont live in a city like a faggot
>mountain roads
>rare to see police off the highway
>closest call was going 20 over and having cops pass me before they turned off for maccas
Leave the city you gook cunt

I'm moving to Brisbane end of the year and I'm going to miss being 5 minutes away from mountain roads.

TASMANIA
turn 16 L1 do a test on the computer, get to do 80 top and have to hold for at least 3 months and be 16

L2 do practical test and be able to show basic driving skills and be able to do a 3 point turn. you have to do 50 logged hours before you can progress when you turn at least 17. limited to 100 in 110 and 90 in 100

P1 pass the test by peforming monuvers such as reverse parralell parking, 3 point turn etc. no restrictions on what car you can drive even from L1 and no cerfew and no limits to how many passengers.
P2 can do everything a fully licenced driver can and dont have to display plates just have to have .0 BAL.
best part is theres no where enough police here to enforce the road laws, so as soon as you get out of the subrubs youre pretty much set to do what you want. we also lack a lot of modding laws that you mainlanders have. in terms of cars this is the one redeeming point about this shithole.

Shut the fuck up, nobody cares.
Sincerely,
18 year old South Australian P Plater.

>Why the fuck do you strayans use kW as a measure in real world?
We don't, Yuropoop. Horsepower gives us a bigger number so we quote that when speaking in the real world.

Speed traps are obvious and our highway pigs are confined to XR6T and SS. Laws forbid pursuits and the average copper doesn't know an inline six from a V6. They might get a little aggressive come quota deadlines and bust up shows but cops aren't an issue otherwise.

Yeah so similar

I'm not really much of a hoon so not too worried about being caught I'm just gonna miss the terrain and roads.

Last two no and first one you can but must show a licence to appropriate authorities within 24 hours of a request to see the licence if on full licence.

>implying americans know how to rip skidz

>caring about the law

shag off you melbourne poofster shits

here in WA we literally do not give a shit

These are the laws restricting you, dumb fuck

>Red p plates
> no speed or car restrictions
Feels good to not be a victoria/sa cuck

>spend $250 on a commodore
>its a statutory write off
>sook on Veeky Forums when the "pigs" take your deathtrap away from you

As an Australian, you're an idiot. Don't get defensive. Regardless of how "good" whatever country you live in, it's an objective fact that we have less civil rights and freedoms than in America. They have a right to bear arms, we have an ineffective bureaucratic nightmare (and as for your ">get shot" meme, the safest parts of America with the lowest violent crime and homicide rates have the highest levels of legal gun ownership. See Plano TX) The post '96 firearms laws have proven to have made no statistically evident effect on violence.

In QLD, the police can just go through your car on a whim, leave your shit all over the curb and say "oh shit turns out you didn't have any drugs. suck shit". Atleast in the US they have a constitutionally recognised right to be free from undue searches and seizures.

Andrew Bolt got fined $200K and threatened with jail time over writing an article that offended aboriginals. No inciting violence, no lies or obscenities, just writing some uncomfortable questions. We have no actual freedom of speech in this nation.

As much as I love Australia, and I genuinely think it could be a better place than the US, we are full of statist cunts like yourself who like the taste of boot leather more than the taste of freedom. So think a little harder before you jump on the anti-america bandwagon you impotent socialist faggot. America's not perfect but it's the free-est game going.
>pic related, the fact this doesn't bother you shows how little you value your own life

Yeah and no one gives a fuck about WA you derro cunt
