So everyone should be driving Matiz's? a 318 is a slow car and I bet much safer then a Matiz in a crash, Driver training would have helped more then anything in this situation, He only had his licence a month obviously didnt know the limits of the car. |

This is nothing new & they should have thought about limiting the power of cars driven by P platers a long time ago, most of you would be too young to remember but about 15yrs ago a rich daddy bought his son a brand new RX7 for his 17'th birthday, he got his license that day & was out that night "hooning", decided to have a drag up Fitzgerald St with a GT Falcon & ended up going through the Shell Garage on the corner of Walcott St killing himself on his 17th birthday, he'd probably still be alive if daddy had bought him a Corolla.
Yes limiting P platers to low powered cars WILL save lives, even if it's only "one" that's enough, and like I suggested in another thread make them keep the exhaust standard, makes a lot of mods useless if the car can't breath...........look at those Lebs on the TT show the other day, they all had cannons which they thought made their cars fast & furious in front of their mates. And AWD won't do shit if your foot is not on the accelerator, which it usually isn't if you are inexperienced & in a sticky situation...........have a look at how many written off Subi's Pickles sell each week.

i'm teaching a 16yr old mate of mine how to drive at the moment. And i'm hammering him about how serious and dangerous driving can be. I sound like someone who's angry cos they missed bowls on the abc. His attitude is sometimes ridiculous, for example if a car overtakes him he'll get all pumped up and be like oh he wants to go. Most of the times its just for a joke but sometimes you can tell if he was alone he would go for it.
Luckily his biggest problem when it comes to driving is keeping his eyes on the road when, as he would say "chicks" are in the area. The amount of times we have switched lanes (without knowing) because of "chicks" is countless.

comming from someone who has just got their p's about 2 months ago i think this is shocking, i just got a subaru forester NA, lowered, rims exaust ect. this thing is slow as but i love it, right now if i chose between a GT and mine i would pick mine,
going fast with mates in your car does not make you look any cooler, its just dickheads that think coz they can plant their foot they are kings! i have had a close family friend die from being a passanger in a drag race, and this has made me realise how dangerous being on the road is. i dont think making bans on V8's and turbos is really going to do anything. if you hit a tree at 150km's her hour in a WRX STI or a Toyota Camry your going to die. its simple as that, its the dickhead beind the wheel that makes the difference, i have my defencive driving course booked in a few weeks and am looking faward to it, sympathy to the passengers family, sorry to drag on, just thought i would add my 2c. blair |

I honestly dont think there is a solution, and this thread wasnt about the laws, but you all had your input, how many threads about it now? People died. Condolences to them. Shame, only 17..
