I hate all the people that think p platers should not drive high performance vehicles... Simply because THEY are the ones that most likely ruined it for us. We do NOT want to learn from YOUR mistakes. Its BS that us responsible enthusiasts have to suffer from your ****.

Screw you all.

I think there should just be a required course to be completed such as the defensive driving course or something like that....

I don't want you driving high performance or overpowered vehicles because I'm sick of me and my colleagues pulling angry grizzly crying halfwits out of smashed up cars because they keep thinking they have reached the level of test pilot after a few cheap mods to their car or a few nights of need for speed.


I didn't drive like a halfwit growing up and didn't cream my pants when someone mentioned the word turbo, extractors, lowered and so on. So don't blame me.

And for those getting into a pissing contest over which car will kill you, true; any car can kill and like my work ambulance a 4 cylinder turbo diesel sprinter I can fang it too.
I've been drivingi lights and sirens for 13 years and I still have to learn every day behind the wheel.

The laws are like they are for a reason. Your well being. So suck it up. Do the right thing whether you are in a KH Laser or a fake VL 'Chaser' with 21 inch rims.

Well said Stretcher Bearer but the message just don't sink in , only hope when they f@#$ up they only take out themselves and not harm those doing the right thing ........

Interesting to see most of the comments agree with the rule.

I agree P platers shouldnt be allowed to drive powerful cars, but i disagree with the term "powerful". Some of the new rules state "no work"... Which is just stupid.

A VR Commodore with an exhaust will sound nice, but still as slow as a wet week. So why should a P plater be banned from this car, but allowed to drive a MR2? (They are bloody quick, and being mid engine if you lose control your pretty much stuffed).

The reason why the law exists, is because without it you could have a dumbass cocky 18 year old jump into a 500bhp RWD v8 the day he gets his license, and then is a major risk to himself as well as all other road users.

While there are some young drivers here im sure could handle the power (and not be dumbasses) im sure they'll even agree they know some people who they wouldnt want on the road in a high powered v8.

The law accommodates the lowest common denominator....

I voted no but i would say that some of the cars that are outlawed are not high powered and would be a problem if say your dad owns a standard XR6 Turbo!
