trekzone 0 Posted January 7, 2004 how are they related? - read on.. In Australia, recent law changes have seen the improvment of the Driving (car) learner permits. These changes include a two stage learner permit, the first stage, when you initialy attain your license, this limits you to 80km/h and you cannot drive on country roads or freeways. The second phase grants you 100km/h and access to freeways and country roads. Basicly this thread is for congratulations to be passed to me for passing the practical driving test - which now means i hold an Australian 2nd phase learners permit... bit slow - me being 17 and 2 months....but - yeah!

BakulaBabe 2 Posted January 7, 2004 Congrats on the learners permit! The restriction on country roads for the 1st phase permit is interesting. In Northern California, where I was raised, my dad would teach me how to drive by taking me out on country roads - very little traffic. I'm guessing the country roads are a different driving situation out your way. (Or maybe not - I'm not even sure what I mean! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
