You should've posted this in the cars & automobiles forum

The new rule applies from December of this year.

The new test will commence in the Central Coast area in late July with full implementation across NSW by December 2007.

I was lucky. I got mine on Saturday.

Are you shitting me? I have to drive around with an RTA clown in my car for 40mins?

Awesome.

 

[Black Hawker]

Unfortunately yeah.

That's why I did it ASAP.

Heh I live in the Central coast...
Booked my 3rd test attempt for middle of november lol.... (no its serious, the first time I went I should have passed, EVERYTHING was perfect but I was failed because I kept the foot above the clutch -.-)

 

[tanjin]

When i did the DART - The tester told me that the new test is 45 minutes because they test your driving ability in your local area + the nearest motorway.

Good luck to all those who do the DART in Dec.

Shit. I should really get my Ps soon eh.

But I'm going to fail anyway, there wouldn't be much point

Why do you say that?

Have you got 50 hours?

Just book it and try. Otherwise you would fail even more if you wait longer...

 

[collide]

No way :| 40 mins driving test?
I'm getting my ps prob december-jan. I thought I escaped the new rules since I got my Ls before that 120 hrs thing LOL.

I've got my hours, but I'm still a terrible and unconfident driver. Not to mention the fact that I haven't driven more than five kilometres in about two or so months.

Going for my Ps now would be stupid and a waste of money, time and effort.

I guess if you hardly drive it doesn't make much of a difference whether you get your provisional licence or not

 

[lala2]

^^That's true. I've only driven thrice by myself since I got my red Ps abotu 2.5 months ago so it isn't really necessary. Having said that, I reckon it's good to get your licence asap just so that you don't rush to get your licence when you need it (probably looking here at after uni graduation) and more and more restrictions are being put into place so if you want the easy way out, sooner the better.

 

[sle3pe3bumz]

Ah fuck. I turn 17 in January. I got my L's in Jan. and have to wait a whole damn year ! DAMMIT! =(

Well, I don't not drive out of choice. Once we get a new second car I'll be able to get back behind the wheel more frequently.

hahaha, secellent point

 

[mudcake42]

I'm going for my P's on the 9th of November, and then if I fail that (which i wont!) I have another go to get them before the new rules!

The additional time isn't that bad people, had a few put through it up here on the NSW CC.

NEW "Road Users Handbook" including the latest NSW P rule changes is available from the link below, you can save this to your PC, its Pdf and 4.1mb in size.

I suggest a read and read again:-
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/downloads/2007_10ruh_english.pdf

I expect another update to RUH mid 2008-9 as new Australian Road Rule amendments are adopted into NSW.

Other RUH languages available from the RTA website under 'Publications' from the home page.
