I had my first solo drive on my Ps today it went pretty well I went on freeways, side streets and main roads. First I drove to my grandma's no problems. Then I drove home to Werribee where I live. The only minor incident I had was right at the end of my long drive home (45 min drive). Similar to when you have your sunglasses on your head and are trying to find them I must have been sub conciously breaking as i knew my street was coming up but moved my foot and realised i was accelerating not breaking it surprised me and shook me for a second but no harm done no one was behind me or in front of me so it was ok. I think it is my AS occasionally I will be thinking of something else and make a mistake be it in driving or something else. I just put my foot quickly back on the break and ended up where i wanted to. I was home five minutes after that anyway. I have to take the car back on Monday.
cool man, hope you had fun. I've had all my fun with driving for a good while(tickets, duis
) nothing like my skateboard and public transportation for awhile

Yeah i am not too worried it was a small issue really no one was in danger and that is the main thing. In Australia the main cause of P plate (novice driver) accidents is stupidity and risk taking not things like that. Unlike most of the US except apparently places like Chicago and NY driving in Melbourne and most major cities is not essential in fact most people dont get their probationary licence until they are in their 20s at 28 I felt ready and last night showed that. In Victoria another reason people wait is if you are under 21 you must do 120 hours compulsory practice on your learner permit before going for your probationary licence you then have to be on probationary licence for four years with more restrctions compared to three years with less restrictions for the over 21s.
