Am yep, i get that point too Astrid... as you know I don't have my full license yet due to similar cautiousness. However when you are limited to doing 80km (as you are in NSW when you are on your L's) you're also a bit of a road hazard when everyone else is doing 105 on these country roads. it also basically means i can't drive onto a freeway or overtake. Silly law. Should be the same as Victoria; Learners should be able to drive at the sign-posted speed so they can fit in with everyone else.
