1. I believe it is a step forward, but we should not invent a new classification, just adopt the most workable from another state & avoid repeating their mistakes. We are supposed to be working towards a national standard.
2. It may not cut the number of accidents, but am sure it will reduce the number of fatalities from high speed impacts.
3. All P platers are going to be irresponsible at some time. I know I was.
4. More extensive driver training, especially skid pan & controlled environment conditions. Also encourage more participation in "grass roots" motorsport as an alternative outlet to testing yourself/car out on public roads i.e. motorkahnas, hillclimbs, track days. Cheap classifications where kids can actually afford to take their own cars & have fun without risking others. Taxpayers' money thrown at V8 Supercars does nothing to reduce the road toll.
