couldn't agree more yet the public want to ban performance cars because the media put the idea in their head.

1. What do you believe of Mr Carpenter's proposition to limit the type of cars that P-platers can drive? Why?

This could work but like people have said its a band aid approach to fixing a problem. I might stop 1 or 2 deaths but high performance viechles are safer than average cars. To reduce deaths better education of the learner and parents needs to be addressed.

2. Do you think it could help curb the deaths of p-platers on WA roads?
No, P platers and the general public still speed and race in normal cars. Racing isn't restricted to V8's and performance cars

3. How do you respond to calls from the public that p-platers in high-powered cars are irresponsible?
The general wouldn't know believe whatever the media wants them to believe. Performance cars do have the potential to kill motorists but so do all cars. Majority of deaths seen on t.v are your typical family car not performance car.

4. What alternatives do you believe would be a better practical measure to curb deaths on WA roads?
1. Increase hours
2. More educate for PARENTS and students. Kids learn the majority of their driving habits from their parents.
3. Make defensive driving course complusory
4. Fix our roads. There are some terrible intersections / pot holes big enough to swallow a child.

If all of these measures don;t work why not increase the age of someone getting their licence to 20????
