MrJoo Regular Registered: May 2004	Re: Have Your Say: restricting power limits for P platers Tue, 21 December 2004 23:18 Power restrictions are a small help to a big problem . A few of you mention that you could be in a lancer/civic and still kill your self, this is true in many cases. However its so much easier and *MORE TEMPTING* for you to try and go feel the rush with a v8 commodore/skylines/TTsupra rather than a lancer and an excel. Sure u got some litte riced p-platers drivers that have no disregard for road rules, but can you imagine how worse it would be if they were driving 180's/Gtr's ect. Its like a missile in the hands of an idiot. Driving courses? well there's some good in it and some bad. Some P platers might take it in a responsible sense and learn something from it, then theres the ones that will give it extra confidence and do more shit on the road as they feel they are confident enough to handle situations due to the driving course. maybe just to scare these p platers the gov. has to place in a law that any speeding commited by a p-plater should have their license suspended for 3 - 6 mths and do community work, and restricted to a car with a maximum displacement of 1.5 litre n/a unmodified after they get their license back from suspension for the rest of their p - plate duration. Dont have a small car or dont have enough money for one? Tough luck! Harsh I know but what else is going to scare these people? an accident? Still even if this was in place there still would be idiots on the road, and I feel sorry to the genuine good p plate drivers who just need to drive as a means to commute. These hoons stuff it up for you guys. some P platers on the roads that I see think they are kings of the roads. I think some of it have something to do with the media in regards to what we read and watch and play. Go have a look at some tuner mags as an example, youll notice that some cars there are featured with bigger turbos and mods for cars that even mum and dad could afford for the p plater. How many kids these days that play and watch initial D wouldnt want try and drift a driftable car if they had the chance? ? Some people write in saying that as their first cars they are lookin at a sr20det silvia or a skyline. The response was more in the lines of you can get more power out of them with this and that mods, but nothing in regard to saftey and how quick they can get you into trouble. This P plate problem is a hard one to even try and fix. Its more of an epidemic if anything. Access to cheap high performance imported cars ( 14 sec cars for under 15k, even some for less than 10k ), magazines/vids that show you such things as the cheapest way to get power out of your *car*, the abundance of mods an how to drift, Internet forums that encourage drag racing, fuel and excite the young and immature to actually want to try and do these things. And when they do it, its on our roads. Unfortunately this is the way it has become. Not much you can do really but drive safe and be weary of these young drivers and hope the gov comes up with something. [Updated on: Tue, 21 December 2004 23:22] [Report message to a moderator]
