    Car - Got my learners at 15 and restricted as soon as I could.. 14 years later I still have a restricted.

    Bike - Learners now, sitting restricted on the 25th.. Assuming I pass I'll be on restricted in at total of 6 months 1 day and plan on getting my full as soon as possible afterwards. Will be nice to be able to travel at over 70km/h without an L plate... Oh wait...

    If they only let you drive <1500cc cars on a restricted I'm sure I'd have got my car full a whole lot quicker. Only got one $400 fine in 14 years for driving home at 1am. If I'd been driving any other car than an Rx-7 I'm sure I'd be $400 richer

    I got my full licence a few weeks after my learners, when I was 15, and my car licence around the same time. HT didn't happen till I was about 23.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    got

    my car in 87,
    L motorcycle on 27 /5 /98 and only got that cause i got stopped on my vfr400 and the cop told me he would check up but he let me go
    so rushed and got learners and he never checked up ,exp on 10/3/2016 so might wait till then
    can get a restricted but it cost so bloody much
    Riding since before i got my car licence must say its cost me a fortune so far as wrong class of licence is more pinga on top of the stuff they normally giving to ya and on that note rego wtf why pay more than a friggin car so if i get pulled up im normally in for it !!!!

    So far I have had my learners for a whole 4 weeks now.

    I will probably go for my restricted ASAP and wait a while before going for my full as it was so many decisions to decide on my bike and if I can choose from ALL the bikes... Could take a while

    I think back then, they called it a 'provisional', valid for six weeks. I had one of those and got my full before I had to renew. Needed full to race on street circuits and the bike (TR250 Suzi) had to have a rego plate attached somewhere (usually inside the fairing.... Oh how times have changed...... This was early seventies....

    I got my provisional licence not long after I turned 15 back in '85.
    Did a riders course entitling me to skip the learner licence and go straight to full. All within 3 months !!!!


    Ha ha, try that today
