Well duh, of course!
What happens when they pass their driving test? I hate how there aren't 2 or more driving tests in Australia, or is it just NSW. Sucks.

Airbags differ in car models, and I myself have been in a wreck going 20 MPH and the airbag never deployed. Later that year my friend was hit driving through a parking lot (someone back out of their spot into him) and his airbag went off. They can't be predicted.
Whether its fake or not, I can't tell.

Yes, it is a fake.
Well, a joke actually. I saw it somewhere else earlier, and they clearly marked it as a joke. This one's funnier:

Now that you mention it, I just abhor it when people decide to not use their turn signals.
Just like to reach out and smack them.

In NSW the deal is that at some age, can't remember what it is, you apply for your Learner's Licence or "L's" as we call them by sitting a computerised test of road rules, hazards and general driving knowledge. You are then allowed to drive up to a maximum 80 km/h and must be accompanied by a fully licensed driver. The fully licensed driver must then sign a log book detailing the skills tested in each driving session, once these skills have been tested and signed totalling no less than 50 hours driving, the new driver can then apply for their Red Provisional License or "Red P's"
This involves a driving test on public roads with set tasks to be performed as well as testing basic competence and ability to deal with changing conditions. If this is passed, the driver can now drive unaccompanied and up to a maximum speed of I think 80km/h.
After one year, the driver can apply for a Green Provisional License "Green P's" which is granted after the completion of a Hazard perception test - a computerised driving simulator. This allows them to travel at speeds up to 100 km/h. This can then be renewed after a year in the same manner.
One the driver has held their green P's for two years, they must then pass another Hazard Perception Test to get their unrestricted license allowing them to drive at the national maximum 110km/h or a safe speed where there is no posted speed limit (the 1400km's of Sturt Highway in the Northern Territory).
It's fairly intensive and takes quite a while, back when I did it there were no green p's, you went from your red's to your full license just by paying the money.
