"P" Platers

The answers are:

too many of them

not enough of them

You sort out which questions they apply to.

cheers

Sorry Gone Bush,
I've gotta correct your use of the word wood.
Being a Wood Butcher, (Carpenter)
You burn wood.
It would be a thin piece of timber.
You use timber.

Couldn't help myself.

Hullo Hairs, you old Wood Butcher, you....

according to the Cambridge dictionary, it might be a bit small to fall under the definition of "timber"...

Sorry Hairs,

Just a bit of good natured banter.

Funny how 50 years takes about 5 minutes to pass by

Hi Hairs

**SILENT COPPERS**, you are bringing back memories, I havent
heard of the term or seen them for many years, in the middle of the
intersection, these White Circles shaped like a Pith Helmet or the
old Coppers Hat. we would cut across them on purpose, just for a
stir.

Cheers

Hi,
I live in Maclean on the northern rivers of NSW and we have at least two silent coppers on our streets that I can think of. I know when teaching our kids to drive explaining to each one you go around the "silent copper' the reaction was always WHAT? What is a "Silent copper"?
Barb

What the hell is a silent copper?
one that uses the baton first or something?

It was concrete 'dome' in the middle of an intersection, to prevent drivers from cutting the corner, as most now do!

But Don't blame the gun,

Watch out Davoe, you might end up on your own list.....hahahaha

I think what the difference between then and now is the amount of traffic that is on our roads today. Not just cars, but heavy trucks and traffic in general. There is a lot more today then what was on the same road systems 25-30 years ago. I remember travelling between Lismore and Cassino at 9 pm side by side for over ten k's or more and not see another car. Now your pushed to find a space in the traffic to overtake a car doing 80k's. Yeah sure I played up as a kid big time.
I don't know! but there is something different in the way people act behind the wheel today compared to when we first learnt to drive.

Maybe kids have to spend so many hours in a trauma unit before they are given a licence.
It's just a thought.

*I believe in general P platers are far better behaved than 20 years ago*


Sorry Bud hav to disagree there,Why bring in the Hoon Laws (Hotline etc etc) for starters if its not that bad,Faster KW Cars and nearly every street you drive down has some sort of Black Rubber laid down. !




Cheers

20 years ago 30% of all cars on the Hume Highway would have been breaking the speed limit with trucks topping 140 kph at night. Drive the freeway now & if someone passes you doing 120 it would be unlikely. Hoon laws, speed camera's and the stiff penelties have have quietend everyone up including P platers.
Cheers Craig......
