New Driving Test Rules

1. Driver must be able to complete a 'doughnut'. If the circle of black tyre marks is not fully complete this could result in test failure.

2. Driver must be able send a text message, change a CD and light a cigarette whilst changing lanes on a traffic island, at the same time.

3. Use of indicators is strictly prohibited. Indicators may only be used in 'hazard' mode or to warn other drivers of a speed camera.

4. Failure to overtake anyone and everyone on inside or outside lane of dual carriageways shows lack of confidence while driving and will result in instant failure.

5. Failure to drive less than 30cm from L platers whilst tooting the horn is borderline failure.

6. Merging is for pussies. You ALWAYS have right of way over other road user. (Unless he's also driving an HSV then show respect)


New rules For P platers


1. Yellow means step on it.

2. The sight of any emergency vehicle or crash means slow right down and get your camera out.

3. P platers may only drive 6.0Litre plus V8 Commodores no newer than 1998 model. Any tread found on tyres will be removed.

4. Children love fast cars, burnouts past schools are especially encouraged.

5. Dangle as many 'Lucky Charms' from your rear view mirror as possible. These will help you avoid having to stare at the tw@t behind you.

6. If you car is stationary in traffic for more than 5 seconds, either get on the horn or change lanes. That 'Rugs a Million' sale isn't going to last forever you know.

7. Pedestrians are scum. Kill them!

well go back then or just catch public transport.. 6 cars wide only 4 lanes your part of the prob, not us awsome highly skilled aussie motorist.

hhaha, those pesky Camrys, they are right up there with Avalons..

I always steer clear of anybody driving a car with a hat.

lol love em all......when i gte my car i will abide by those rules!!!lol..

Don't forget if you are turning left or right at a roudabout you must not indicate.
Keep em guesing.

Stop and wait for eternity at all round abouts, in the R/H lane with full intention of exiting at the first exit left, Oh and indicator use is optional, with preference on fine clear cloudless days and not another vehicle on the road except the ones behind you.

Some how I was facing the wrong way up Marmion ave last night
First I was fish tailing it from the left lane to right lane etc etc etc and then... WEEE... a 180 spin
I wasnt being stupid I promise

Don't forget:

When you're at a set of lights, you must wait for it to go green, then when it turns amber, nail it, and leave the rest of the suckers behind you with a red light... that'll make you friends!

Couldn't agree more Mintox, I just loved driving on the autostradas. Everybody is thinking traffic flow, not just about themselves. Almost as good as a choreographed driving exhibition at times. Took me a while to figure out why the truckies flashed there headlights at an overtaking truck. Then I realised the overtaking truck has trouble knowing just when the end of his truck was clear of the one behind. The headlight flick was to let him know he could pull back in to the inside lane. Don't see anything like that here.

From what I remember, the headlight flick is reciprocated with a single hazard light flash from the overtaker; a nice way to say 'Thanks mate'. I have tried on occasions to introduce that custom to Australian roads and been met with very puzzled looks.

Indicate and slow when you come to a corner on your left when I am waiting to turn right into the same road. Don't actually pull into the road, rather park right on the corner having given the cars behind you long enough to catch up and stop me making my right turn.

Actually there probably wasn't anything wrong with that, apart from pissing me off. Maybe too close to the corner.

I've seen the headlight flick in country Victoria and Queensland.
