P Plate Laws

As a P2 plate holder I find that the laws put upon young drivers is ridiculous. First the cost of license fees is astronomical as well as insurance. I own a 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer - which I paid for myself and have had it for about a year. I have a 3 year no accident or fine report and GIO wanted to charge me $6000. I shopped around to find that NRMA gave it too me for $1500 which is still quite high compared to my dad which only pays $600 for an even more expensive car. Furthermore the RTA has charged me nearly $500 in license fees and tests in the last 3 years which is a joke and also put 4 dermerit points for a 10km/h speeding fine which I see full license drivers breaking the speed limit everyday.
To me everything to do with the P plate laws is a joke and should be stopped.

Ah Rass......in society ALL laws must apply to ALL, even if some believe they are above average in their abilities and level of responsibility. Society does have to have levels of responsibility for all to observe otherwise you will have anarchy and we would have a neighbourhood prison in every suburb !! Maximum legal speed limits are simply ONE example of laws for all that are there to protect the innocent and ignorant from hurt and harm. It really, really isn't just about revenue raising or the ignorance of the politicians that are voted into government by you and I. Let's stop using the Conspiracy Concept as an excuse to exist outside the useful guidlines of our society and instead think of the welfare of neighbours and respect them more.
