Default Have you noticed the New P Plate Laws having effect?

I have just returned to the Central Coast of NSW after 4 months driving across Australia. During that time, some pretty harsh P plate laws were brought into NSW which came into affect on July 1.
I drive between Gosfordand Sydney each day on the F3 (110km/h). I leave home at 5am and very few P platers on the road, but in the arvo, there seems more.
What ive noticed is that after wondering why i am doing 90km.h behind a freight train of traffic, i start passing a heap of cars doing 20km/h under the limit.

These P platers, who if they are caught above their prescribed limit, or the posted one, will lose their licence.

I've seen these guys get a hard time from us unrestricted licence holders trying to pass them, but it seems harsh - they stand to lose big time if the cops nail them.

For years Victoria let L and P platers do 100km/h - i reckon its a problem having these guys restricted to a speed below what the majority of people are doing on a freeway - 20km/h is a big delta and when most people do 115km/h.

On roads were the limit is less than 90km.h you wouldn't notice, but all i know is that back in January, i rarely saw P platers doing less than the posted 110km/h which is easily the flow of traffic on the F3 "most" of the time.

Anyone else noticed this on say the F6, M5 and M4 (when not a carpark)
