Bastards! The kids these days have it easy!
Theres a P plater working at my local Maccas with the hero colour XR5 in orange and there's two locally in white near my work. |
I got my P's 3 months before they rolled out the bans on turbo petrols, high performance 6's and v8s and modified cars. So whilst my mates were stuck in v6 commodores and sss pulsars, i was able to do the v8 thing. Namely an hsv 304 efi swapped kingswood ute and a 308 swapped uc torana. Plus the alcho booze limit for a P plater for me was not 0. It was 0.02. Yeah i used to get pulled up all the time having p plates on a v8 for licence checks and they always did breathos, but i never lost a point. But i had a mate who got tboned in his subaru leone. He blew 0.0016 and ended up with a court ordered 7 year $55k loan to pay for the forester xt that hit him. And a driving ban.
