and i wonder what theyre views on the industry is...how many young people go to workshops and buisnesses asking for custom, aftermarket and performance parts...that industy is massive no matter where you go...as soon as you cut the p platers out which in Vic is 18-21 thats a lot of people not being able to buy these parts and then the industy loses out as well...what and they gonna say when this happens?

Actually, most people i know in performance industry arent too phased. Most people who get alot of performance mods done are in the over 25 bracket, simply because most younger people do "bolt on" mods. So places like ricerbarn and supercrap auto suffer.

I don't think the "industry" would suffer in any way... it would just see a shift in demographic.

but even then there are alot of mods going around that are bolt on and carry a price...times it by the amount of people and are you saying they wouldnt notice a loss??

As ben has put out in the newpaper add, p's=hoons because everyone has seen a p plater do something stupid like its always on the news and even when theyr driving, but i thinks its like anything you get one frame of mind and forget the other side of the bigger picture...

That was a big arsed file to download shaggerz, if more young drivers had your attitude then there would be no need for such hard line tactics from the government.

I know p platers have been getting a lot of attention in the media lately, but the same can be said with a lot of things. You expose one mechanic for ripping someone off, all of a sudden all mechanics are rip off artists. A builder does a crap job for whatever reason, all builders need to be watched like a hawk for fear of doing shoddy work. If this were a bird watchers forum, we would all be labelled weirdo's and perverts.

These restrictions are going all over the country to stop people going from one state that stops them from driving hi performance vehicals to allowing them to i think its s great law now the price of high performance car wont be flooded every year with young wankers no offence but 5 years ago i sold a car 300 hp fwd for 12g and now i would be lucky to get 5 for it . same with imports they were worth nothing back then now since the import laws changed the price went up and now there are talks to change the laws back . only because they are stoping in experianced drivers have them i thinkits great lol sorry :p

I think it is a good idea to slow down those "P" plate drivers who think they own the road...
