Dish

that sounds like bull tbh, standard procedure is points and a fine

Your still considerd a minor in the states eyes hence no points or fines, i'd say if your on a provisional and were on your own they will limit the use of the car.

Sounds like you're very lucky indeed, and that the Gard is actually looking out for your interests as a motorist, rather than using the opportunity as a money making excercise.

The Liason officer, will probably discuss driving a car responsibly with you. And recommend some training. Which you should probably get anyway, it makes you a safer driver, but a better driver too at speed should the need ever arise.

The Guard was sound bout it all! Like im on my first provisional and all like! He took me details so like could I be getting a fine for no full licensed driver accompanyin me?

I always assumed when people dropped the word "like" into sentances it was a speech impediment done through habit, or done involuntarily. How does that work for the written word?

Here's a bit of advice Dish - say nothing more on the topic other than please and thank you if and when you get an answer. I'm not slagging you, but I can see you're simply cannon fodder for some people here, from your grammar to your personal circumstances. So cut yourself a break and just read the replies.

Holsten

Driving a week and already pulled over?

Hahah, wonder how long your driving career will be...

skibum

Don't worry Dish, there can only be one Drdre
But seriously take wet-paints advice on board, you know it makes sense.

Edit: just having read this : http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=53787125&postcount=25, I think Drdre could be knocked from his number 1 position!!!

What does that mean?

miju

not to start the band wagon hopping but personally believe your parents are incrediblyfoolish to be letting you out on your own unsupervised after only driving a week (and thats not bringing in the fully licensed driver thing either)

wet-paint

All you really need to know is that you're being slagged. Seriously man, you're bringign your own thread off topic.

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

OMFG, are you Lorax's secret love child!!!

Seriously, you need to cop on big time, you're 17 years old, a week driving and you've been pulled over for speeding. From reading your posts you are stereotype boy racer material. Again, cop on before you go out and kill somebody. Drivers like you are an example of how fúcked the provisional driving system is.

Dish

Yup im am a boy racer! Im not gona deny it! I do love speed. Im not going to lie about it like! G on ahead and say best of luck to me and so on. I just asked at the start of this topic had anyone been visited by a Public Liasons person before on my grounds!

wet-paint

Oh go for it lads, I give up.

And Dish? If you meet this Liason officer, could you get their contact details and post up here, just in case someone here wants to, um, er, ask about what their job entails? Good lad.

lock maybe?

The question has been answered as accurately as possible. Maybe a few PP's might teach young Hamilton a lesson.

Now you know as well as anyone that PPs are probably not going to teach anything. Its a sad fact of life that many boyracers don't slow down until they are killed/injured or kill/injure someone in a speed related accident.

~Rebel~

Coming from someone who has lost people to idiot young speed merchants - seriously cop on with it. After a week of driving thats absolutely ridiculous. Trust me - your not as good as you think you are. One thing to keep in mind is, just because you like speed, doesnt give you the right to force others on the road to deal with your reckless driving. Your not the only one it effects.

On the liasons officer, i dont know their role im afraid, though i hope he can inspire some sense.

Maybe his 'rents might take a bit of notice that young Hamilton needs some maturity before he gets himself some wheels roysh.

I'm a young driver and its this type of person that makes me pay more for my insurance than I should have to.

commited

It's times like this that I'm happy insurance is so high for 17 year olds. I do feel sorry for the guys who have their heads screwed on and use appropriate speed at appropriate times though.

We all understand the need for young people to have some form of transport outside of the larger cities specially in very rural areas, but one thing Dish, those rural roads are infinitely more dangerous, there's generally no speed limits and you then go and speed on

When I was a few years older than you (a few mind ya) I had three friends all killed in the one car speeding on rural roads, the bus they hit the front axle was driven back 4 feet, they were in a mini, needless to say they were scraped out of the car.

My dream of Karma:

The liaison officer turns out to be a Lugs Brannigan type, old school copper, who liaises seven bells out of him with his own Sparco seat belt.

Then all would be right again.

Dish,
Get yourself to a good school, then a good driving school. Hard as it may be to understand now, being able to communicate with the written and spoken word will get you much further in life than finding roads that are "unreal for speeding".
