The whole NSW restriction to 80km/h is counter productive. The first time you are allowed to drive at faster speeds is just after you pass your test - and are likely to be unaccompanied with no one to assist you in emergency situation.

Sure, there is not a HUGE difference, but there is one. Surely it would be better to be able to give full and proper driving instruction in ALL aspects of driving (incl higher speed freeway/open road driving) situations, rather than just let someone figure it out for themselves once they have proven they can drive around the block and park at low speeds???

The rolling road block is a major safety and traffic management issue in its own right.

Stupid NSW rules. Same as restricting some of the safest cars on a technicality rather than power to weight.

Meh...

Enjoy your drive, good on you for not forging your hours and learn lots!
