Get fucked its your fault for waiting ages to get your p's then u wanker. i dont give a fuck if ur 20 its not just about being mature, its about having enough experience to drive when there are other people in the car at night. i dont think the rta gave a shit about designated drivers because they wanted to get red p retards like yourself to stop driving at night when ur too inexperienced to be able to drive with a carload of people. being older than everyone else doesnt make u automatically a better driver than anyone that is younger than u and that is what is wrong with half the dickheads on the road who think they can intimidate younger l and p plated drivers. FFS just deal with it like the rest of us had to pay for a cab loser.

I fail to see how including other people in a car, at night, requires more experience than driving regularly.

It's 100% about maturity. Lads have accidents because they like to show of to their mates and act in an aggressive way. Or they let themselves get distracted by their mates. These are things that are strongly dependant upon age.

Older drivers as a population, would generally make better judgements, and be less easily affected by peer pressure and aggression than teenagers, though obviously there's large individual variation within these populations.

Driving late at night is heaps easier than driving at any other time , with the obvious exception of fri/sat night, driving in town.

Driving home from work at 9am I get gridlock and stopped at lights, and have to merge lanes of traffic and stuff.

In contrast to driving to work at 3am, when I usually never see another single car, never get stopped at a single light. I can rip across town no stress, where I'm constantly tense and having to react to hazards during the day.

It's only when people start getting silly (which is a matter of maturity) that things will go wrong. I think the night has a strong emotional effect upon people, it tends to make people more manic and bold, not to mention they haven't had a good sleep. Judgement is impaired under the cover of darkness.

Not to mention depth perception and hazard perception are impaired when its dark. Much harder to know there is a hazard (pothole, gravel on road, roo) up ahead when its dark. Also i find if im on a road i dont know, sometimes i can barely make out corners etc (easy when doing 90-100km/h on country roads - some roads dont even have guide posts).

Like the Newell Highway between West Wyalong and Forbes. That cunted road fucks me up so hard. No signs to indicate there is a massive bend coming up, no overtaking lanes for 100km and it's one of the main highways between Melbourne - Brisbane.

I shit my pants often when driving home from Wagga and it's 6-7 pm, dark, and you see a set of B Dub headlights coming straight at you, only to realise they're on the corner and holy shit there is a corner coming up lol wtf dead

Sum P plate chicks here were going around the round about the wrong way the other night, round and round. Then the cops chased them.

Then they crashed at 150 on the highway to Forbes.

Tards.
