From Apollo Bay we headed inland through some tight twistes to end up at the next stop on the cruise.

 

 

This was what was left of another member's front splash gaurd:confused: that had been scrapping the ground/road during the entire cruise:O. To help him out I quickly removed the 3 screws holding the guard in place and pesto my good deed for the day was done:zlove:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The last stop was in Geelong where we all gathered for a photo shoot.

A Provisional P2 licence (commonly known as Ps and Greens) is gained after one year and successful completion of a computerised hazard perception test. The driver is restricted to a speed limit of 100 km/h, a zero alcohol limit, and a maximum of seven demerit points; however, they are eligible to upgrade the class of their licence, such as those for heavier vehicles. P2 drivers must display a green-on-white 'P-plate' conspicuously on the exterior of the vehicle at all times. P2 drivers must hold the licence for two years before progressing to the next stage.

 

Full, Unrestricted Licence A full, unrestricted licence is gained after two years and successful completion of another computerised test. Unrestricted drivers licences are coloured gold

 

There are several common complaints about the NSW licensing scheme. The relatively high number of road accidents and traffic offences (such as speeding and drink-driving) involving P-plate drivers has prompted calls for further driving restrictions, such as curfews and passenger restrictions, as implemented in other countries. Also, the blanket speed restrictions on Learner and Provisional drivers can pose problems on country roads and freeways, where learner drivers are restricted to 80 km/h while other drivers may travel up to 110 km/h. Another common complaint is that it takes too long to progress to your full license. In Queensland and Victoria, this problem is avoided by not imposing speed restrictions on newly licensed drivers. There has been some criticism, especially amongst holders of provisional licenses, that the new laws punish the majority whilst it is only the minority that are the offenders.

 

 

 

(copy and pasted from wikipedia lol - google matey :P) - added the rest as it makes more sence, as the P plate is limited to certain areas by the looks of it.

 

Thats for white background, green P

 

then there is this one

 

P2 (Green) Probationary Licence

 

The P2 Probationary Driver Licence came into effect from 1 July 2008. For probationary drivers obtaining a P1 Probationary Licence after that date, they may upgrade their licence status if they have had a good driving record for at least 12 months while holding the P1 Licence.

 

The same P1 restrictions apply, except P2 drivers may tow trailers and use a handfree mobile phone. The peer passenger restriction does not apply to P2 drivers. They must display the white-on-green 'P-plates', rather than the red. If a person is over 21 when licenced they go straight onto the P2 licence for three years.

 

P2 licences last for 3 years, making the minimum age of receiving a full licence 22 years, up from 21 years for drivers who obtained their a Probationary Licence before 1 July 2008. The minimum age for obtaining a P2 Licence is 19 years. All drivers who obtained their Probationary Licence before 1 July 2008 qualify as P2 drivers and must display the green 'P' plates.

 

Driver Licence

 

A full Driver Licence is obtained after the probation period. For drivers who got their P's after 1 July 2008, the minimum age at which they can obtain their full licence would be 22.

 

There are few restrictions on fully licensed drivers, other than not being able to drive while holding a mobile phone, and the need to have a BAC under 0.05%. Full licences are valid for ten years, but can be made available for three years if requested.

VicRoads the Victoria state automotive registration organisation allow custom licence plates to be created to a customers style, colour and text at a cost of $500 AUD. I had my finance and my family get my personalised plates (ADAMZX) for my 25th birthday:D

whats the green P sign on a couple of them?

 

As vodkashots has already detailed, the Green P plates is a 2nd grade probationary drivers licence. The 1st grade is a red P plate which limits the driver to only 1 passenger in the car. but a few years ago we use to have just the red P plates. Too many young kids started dieing on Australian roads and so the green P plates was introduced to extend the probationary period and it seems to have helped.

Thank you guys for all the positive comments. This cruise is the biggest meet we have in Victoria and everyone loves to be apart of it. I hope next year my Z will finally be finished and Ill get alot of attention from my hard work.

Outstanding set of well looked after Zeds there, I love it! So much variety and completely unique styles. Some really cool headlight panels I hadn't seen before as well.

 

Another great thing about car ownership in Oz apart from the number plate system is that you're 3rd party insurance is covered in your road tax! And even if you want to go fully comprehensive its not very expensive at all compared to the UK so you don't need to be over 30 and loaded to afford the insurance on a nice car:thumbup:. Only downside when I lived in WA was that they are ruthless when it comes to speeding, I managed to rack up $1000 in speeding fines in my first 6 months of driving! :dots: I want to go back........
