Finally I have gotten my license, Ive had it for a week or so and been driving everywhere (quite a few fish shops) should be able to go to auctions and stuff now as I dont need my parents to come who aren't that interested.
Thought I'd let you guys know.

Cheers Evan

well done mate, so what are you driving and what do you hope to be driving.

[ZOLTAN]

So me let me get my head around this for a sec ( nothing bad ) did you just recently sit the driving part of the test and got to wait out 6 months before you can drive on your own. Or you did the driving part of the test and pass 6 months ago and your free now to do what you want to do?

The only reason i'm trying to clear this up is because my little bro's girlfriend passed her driving test about 1 or 2 months back, now she can drive in the car but not on her own, only with another person that has his/her license. She has to wait 6 months before she can drive on her own, she said it's part of the log book system in place for p plater's. She said she has to log up 25 hrs worth of driving over a span of six months to be able to drive freely on the roads without another person in the car.

Now you can log up the 25 hrs in a space of a week within the six months but if your hrs are clocked before the six months are up you still can't drive on your own til the period is over. So effan any idea on this mate, because i would hate to see or hear that you went out and got pinned by the cops for it, and those bugga's have new little computers in their cars that allow them scan the drivers rego plates on it's own. Think of it as a smaller version of skynet inside the car.

If you didn't have to worry about any of that then congrats on your ticket to freedom.

lol, your right mate, but I'm under the old system, (just got in, was lucky) so just had to do 25 hours (took 1 and a 1/2 weeks) then sight a little computer test took, 15min passed that easy, then some lady at the perth licensing centre gave me my P's.
So I can drive wherever, whenever (except after 12 pm to 5am lol) I like.
Cheers for the concern tho mate
