Look, I agree that just instigating a no turbo, no V8, no modified car clause to P platers isn't going to solve the problem. That education needs to be effectively given to young drivers in conjunction to limiting the vehicles they're allowed to drive.

I also freely admit that some young drivers will do bonehead things no matter what car they drive. Stopping them from driving hi-po cars will likely limit how much goes wrong when the bonehead gene kicks in.

Tell me, in your absolute honest opinion.. who's more likely to become unstuck behind the wheel, a bonehead in a 1.3l Escort (my first car) or a bonehead in a Silvia Turbo? If you believe that 'bonehead driver' is equally capable to a) be a public menace, b) come a cropper; in both cars then I don't know what else to say to you.
