Ban P Platers over Easter

[Silver Ghia]

I have noticed for some years the quality of driving on weekends and public holidays is quite poor, compared with driving to work on the same roads during weekday peak times. Today was no different when we went down the Calder, across the city to Sandringham and back, there were vehicles following almost right up against my rear bumper despite me following behind vehicles in front, "I cant go any faster mate, besides I'm at the speed limit!!".

And a few clowns passing, doing in well in excess of 30kph over the posted speed limit. Makes the 'knock off 5' campaign look quite pointless, they should be concentrating more on these drivers.

Then the many 'L' drivers I came across. One decided to put the right hand indicator on just as I was passing, making me worried for a second or so. Maybe they should ban 'L' drivers instead, only because the licensed drivers next to them dont seem to instruct too well.

No, today I didn't see any 'P' platers doing wrong, but there were certainly plenty of others.
