They really should have put more thought into the power restrictions, instead of restricting cylinders, turbochargers etc. they should just limit based on power/weight
theres plenty of cars that p platers can drive that destroy cars they can’t drive, and on top of that p platers are allowed to dive a lotus exige, which does 0-100 in 4.7

Outright, the government needs to Learn2Life. These laws essentially block the previously endorsed policies of carpooling to reduce carbon emisions and promote segregation amongst today’s drivers. Its just like L’s, and how some people get a kick out of scaring them.

Also, you get more experience and knowledge from your first week of P’s then you do with 3 months of L’s. The first day you have your P’s you have to act alone, decide by yourself, and generally everything you’re normally told to do for the previous 6 (or in this case 12) months.

Its just a revinue raiser that sacrifices the freedom of todays youth (i speak as one of them) and contradicts what our OWN GOVERNMENT is saying about the environment.

Quite simply summed up, they fail @ life.

i lost my liscence for picking up 2 friends, coz she had something to drink and couldnt get home from a very uncomfotable situation. when i picked them up from the party, my p plates were stolen. the cop pulled me over when we’re almost home. 2 points for driving with more than one person at 11:06 and 2 points for not displaying p’s propperly. now i have no liscence for 3 months and will not be able to drive between 11pm and 5 am for a whole year.

i think your right, about these laws only being a quick fix for a problem the police and polititions face today. its no long term solution and only harshly affect those who do the right thing. most of the crashes you see are those with stock comodors, vl’s and the like…

most cars with turbo and supercharged engines have a 5 star safety rating as a opposed to the cars the want us to drive like a barina with 1 – 1.5 star safety rating (i mean it still has drum breaks)

wat needs to happen is a large public outcry. and assistance in solving the issue!

hey dave right here (FU) i dont think you know wat you talkin about, speaking of drags? if they open up more places to go to and test there knowledge of what they’re car can do there would be far less “draging” from lights 2 lights.
im speaking from personal experence, i have very recently lost my licence because of failure 2 indercate off around about and U turn where i wasnt ament to, now i am now on these new laws and i am now forced 2 sell my car and by a berina (witch has near 2 no safty feaches compared to my car) cause it exceeds the maximum 200kw.
best reguards

They are a bunch of bullshit, first of all these laws were implemented partly for the greedy government to make an even bigger profit on fines than they already do. And secondly it has nothing to do with how good a driver you are it’s the dickheads who dragged and fucked it up for everyone who can actually drive responsibly.. i can name a few off the top of my head plus i am a guy and i’m saying to every other guy make it right stop being hoons and make us the betters drivers than girls nah were equal and it should stay that way.

i have had my p’s for a yr now. these new laws are bull. its not just the young people with the fast cars that have crashes. you see mostly stock standered cars been showen on the news that have come off the road from speeding and yet there is a different age everytime. turbo cars and people that are into them all know to have a good type of suspension set up to handle your power. if anyone should be banned from the road its older people like granny’s and gramps. they go like 15k’s under the speed limit.
im just saying, people that have a turbo car should get use to there car before they decide to go all out.
but also with the right suspension , good tyres, knowing the roads they are on and always buy a safe car.
and why should they tell us what car we can buy?
if we got the money for it we r willing to pay for it..
its all bull

I think this is full of crap. These new laws wont change nothing. all it will do is give us young drivers more time to save money for a faster car. And besides i can speed in my mums mini n kill myself. ani car can kill anione. its how u drive it. they ban a v8 but not a v6?? mate a v6 can do upto 200 km easy. The government is fukin stupid and has no idea wat they are doing.
