It's a discussion about the law that's about to be passed not a rant on how everyone picks on P platers That's an Antilag topic. I will not mind in the slightest if the law gets passed in the way of P platers from THERE on cant drive cars classed High Performance, not the ones already on their P's that have been driving their cars for a while, my brother has been driving for over a year and only just recently purchased his VE SS

yeah I know what you mean mate, it's such an easy wagon to jump on and just blame all the roads problems/deaths on the P platers Having been on my P's with my car when it had over 300rwkw, I'm still here butt you do get the dickheads and it's ruined it for the rest of the young blokes. I just mainly feel sorry for my bro, hes just injected a big pile of money into his VE SS (he's 18) and now he wont be able to drive the damn thing

Marcus, you're right when you say P platers do silly sh*t, but we all do at times But the fact of the matter is, people that aren't on their P's do it just as much as The younger ones do, it's just there isn't a huge deal made about it. Maybe have your driving test IN the performance car and have the instructor assess you, to see weather you're capable of driving it or not, rather then just do the whole "Minority ruins it for the Majority" sh*t we are seeing. There's just soo many ways to get around this problem rather then just ban younger drivers, they have just as much of a right as everyone else who has their license, hell half the older people that got their license didn't even get proper training!

Gotta love these Knee-jerker's Funny that this wont even lower the yearly death toll, In-fact don't be surprised if it's increased Hooray, Ahh well looks like I'll be driving The turbo and the VE SS

Yep, much safer to drive a buz (Yaris) box in the event of a crash.

EXCLUSIVE: P-PLATERS will be banned from driving high-powered cars under Labor - and confiscated vehicles will be sold, even if they belong to drivers' parents. Premier Alan Carpenter outlined the new policy in an interview with The Sunday Times and said the proceeds of cars sold would be used to help victims of road trauma. P-platers would be banned from getting behind the wheel of V8, turbo or super-charged cars and even those with modified six-cylinder engines. The car models to be banned would be listed in the legislation. Even if owned by the driver's parents, confiscated cars would be sold. Mr Carpenter said the new laws were a way of protecting young inexperienced people on the road. They would also protect their friends and families. "It is obvious that 17-year-old boys getting behind the wheel of a high-performance car is asking for trouble,'' Mr Carpenter said. "We've got to stop that from happening. It's about the safety of the broader community and the safety of the young kids themselves. "And ordinary people do not want to be terrorised by hoons. Some of these accidents have come ploughing into people's houses.'' Under present laws, cars can be impounded by police for seven days on the first hoon offence and 28 days on the second. Police can confiscate the car on the third offence. The ban on high-powered cars was no different from existing laws that restrict novice motorcycle riders to machines under 250CC. Work-related exemptions would be considered. "But as a general rule young kids, invariably boys, don't need as their first vehicle to be driving a high performance car,'' Mr Carpenter said. Hooning was one of the most complained-about law and order issues in the state. It was traditional in Australia to own bigger cars because of our wide open roads, but hoons had become more of a problem because young people had more money to spend than before on big, powerful vehicles. Mr Carpenter said he had often seen hoons. One night last week, while driving back to Perth on Great Eastern Highway, two cars flashed past him. "They were obviously racing,'' he said. Mr Carpenter said it made more sense to sell confiscated cars than crush them. "Rather than the vehicle being crushed, and effectively becoming worthless, the vehicle should be sold and the money go into the Road Trauma Trust Fund,'' he said. "So it will be directly earmarked to assist people who have been injured in car accidents. "It is not as superficially attractive as crushing the cars, but it makes more sense because you get a return.'' The latest move to strengthen anti-hoon laws comes only two months after the Government increased the power of police to confiscate cars for seven days for a first offence and 28 days for a second offence. The Government has picked up on community sentiment reflected in a The Sunday Times law and order survey last September. On the issue of hoons, 95 per cent of readers who responded to the survey believed P-plate drivers should not be allowed to get behind the wheel of high-powered vehicles. And 50 per cent wanted confiscated cars to be sold, with the proceeds put back into road safety. In all my brother and all his mates (which most are mine too) are pretty much stuffed..
