Shelby's Formal - Oztrailer - 11-21-2017 My youngest daughter Shelby finished school last Friday. I had the pleasure of driving her and her partner Tom to their formal that night. [attachment=12275] RE: Shelby's Formal - JTS71 Mach1 - 11-21-2017 Good Looking Couple! Dad should be proud! JTS RE: Shelby's Formal - Mustangmike - 11-22-2017 Dittos with JTS. Oh the great years of being young! Did Tom at least pop the big question that night? You know, can I drive the Mach 1?

You know, can I drive the Mach 1? Ha Ha, Tom only just got his license a couple of weeks ago. He is on P plates which means he can't drive a V8. He stays on the P for a year and then he will go on to a P for two years. This is to try and protect the younger drivers until they are experienced. https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/licensing/driver-licensing/applying/provisional/restrictions The funny thing is that while they are on their learners permit before they get their license they are allowed to drive anything whilst under supervision RE: Shelby's Formal - Mustangmike - 11-22-2017 It looks like Australia has outlined the rules pretty good for young drivers. It is smart a thing, especially with the high horsepower cars being manufactured today. I think it is interesting to see how other countries deal with young and new drivers. The U.S. seems to have less restrictions which may not be a good thing. RE: Shelby's Formal - JTS71 Mach1 - 11-23-2017 Yikes and I thought we had some goofy laws (Illinois). I remember one that stated. " The difference in height" between the Front and Rear Bumpers, can not exceed 4 inches maximum. This was measured from the bottom of each, to the ground. UNLESS !!! the vehicle was equipped to tow a trailer! So what did all the hot rodders do??? We all installed trailer hitches on the back of our cars! My 71 Mach1 had a hitch on the back and was wired to pull a trailer. Which I actually did from time to time. Most were just for looks. HA! HA! Stick it Copper!!! RE: Shelby's Formal - Mustangmike - 11-23-2017 JTS, You know why they have that law don't you? It's because they didn't want all the gearheads driving down hill all the time (LOL)!

RE: Shelby's Formal - 1969_Mach1 - 11-23-2017 I have never heard of a drivers license that prevents driving high horse power cars. I guess it could be beneficial. But, there will still be the first time they drive a high horse power car and with that there will be a learning curve regardless. I.E. learning more throttle control on a high horsepower car. I think part of the issue is drivers training. I think during the training drivers should get experience with big older cars that do not brake and steer as well as todays cars. And also learning to drive a manual transmission car should still be a requirement like it use to be (at least in my area). |
