I am currently halfway through my second year of driving on Ps, I have never had an accident, never had my license suspended, and I have been pulled over once for a minor speeding offence (the LAPD was quite surprised when he asked about my history). Having said this, the majority of my friends in the same age group cannot say the same. One of my mates has written off two cars, another has repeatedly smashed his parents' Lancer
I did a driver training course before I got my Ls. The old dudes there have a fair bit of knowledge and if young drivers can manage to find it within them to realise they aren't all prodigies and that people with more experience may well be better drivers, I think that this would be a much better solution than more restrictions. They haven't been 100% successful in the past, maybe it's time to try something new - like a compulsory course where you can find out your limitations as a driver, and the limitations of your car. That's also important to know to drive safely.
Sorry about the long post
Edit: Forgot to mention I did a fair bit of my Ls (and lots of my Ps so far) in a banged up hand-me-down RT40, that could have contributed to being careful too And, it's not too hard to push it to the absolute limit
