I know this might attract a lot of crap from everyone so just a heads up i dont wanna hear it..
here is my problem, i turn 17 in August, and also have way over the required amount of hours, but i wasn't able to get my leaner licence till december last year as i lost my passport, now i'd normally have to wait till december but im thinking of starting an apprenticeship or similar soon and want to get my p's when i turn 17..is there any way to get out of the 1 year requirement? i feel really comfortable driving, like it comes naturally, i know you'll probably just think of me as another know it all teen but it aint like that  |

won't bother then, but you can't really rely on public transport to take you to job sites, especially on the gold coast..

you may as well try for an exemption. if that is not possible the four months will go pretty quick anyway. at least at the end of that time, it will seem that way
