Hi,
I think curfews are a short sighted, and impractical idea. I believe limiting the amount of people in the car to one is a great idea.
Most of the accidents my friends had occurred when there was a full car load of 18 year old guys.
Power restrictions would be a very difficult thing to police. Who would the onus of proof be on to prove that your car is legal. I bet the police would not be happy if they had to weigh your car, and dyno it. How would this system work? Do they have to prove that your car was running more boost, hotter cams, stroker crank..etc. Power-to-weight charts given to police would only work if the car violated the rules to start with.
In an ideal world we would have a learner driver set-up similar to the Germans. Lots of driver courses, combined with Autobahn/high speed driving. The high speed driving would be very beneficial, as we all wanted to see how fast our cars went when we first got our license. Removing the "novelty" of high speed driving might be a good idea?
Set the learner license course to include things like towing a trailer, changing a tyre, VERY simple mechanics of a car. Explain to people that towing a 20 foot boat with a Datsun 1200 with standard brakes is not a smart move IE:- Massive increase in stopping distances, the car is overloaded, the brakes are going to overheat, the car is not rated for this.
There are lots of people out there with little/no commonsense. A license testing procedure should be designed to either "enlighten" them, or fail them. Driver testing every five years would be a good idea???
My 2 bob.
