P plates.

Pointless things! Took em off 2 weeks after passing.

I never had them. I swear they are just an excuse for other drivers to abuse you. I didnt want that abuse, so thats why i didnt bother.

I understand your frustrations 100%. They just signal go other drivers this guy hasn't got a clue how to drive lets just make his/her life a misery.

Exactly.
And they are just excused for the t**t drivers out there to drive like even bigger t**ts

I have been driving for 6 weeks now after passing my test first time, i drive almost every day and i like to think im a good driver and very confident. I drive a 1.0 litre car and im not a boy racer or anything. I have had P plates on my car for the past 6 weeks as my parents have forced me to keep them on, however there becoming more of a hindrance than a help. I think people just see the P plate and automatically think im a terrible driver and ive been overtaken 3 times despite sitting right on the speed limit each time. I've told my mum i think i should take them off now but she says i should keep them on for another 6 MONTHS!!!!

She says that if i crash my insurance will go up and i won't be getting insured anymore (fair enough) but she seems to think P plates are some sort of thing that makes it impossible to crash! She says that people see the p plates and give you more room and are more considerate (are they FU**). I didn't mind wearing them at the start but now when im out with people and they're like "oh have u just passed?" and im like "no i passed 6 weeks ago" it can get quite annoying. How can i convince her that im probably safer with them off!?

Does anyone else use P plates and do they find them useful and how long did u use them for?

Thanks.

I still use P plates even though i've passed my driving test 7months ago, it dosen't really bother me really. It's actually quite funny having the P plates on, what i typically do is that I drive slower than normal on roads and when someone does try and over take me and when we are mirror to mirror i full throttle the car and zoom off I go. I drive a Ford Fiesta red edition 140bhp so it's got some boost to it.

Bruh p sign is for pussies I've passed 4 months ago and I drive fine without they don't make you magically become a safe driver and also people will overtake you as they think your a pussy driver
