well in my opinion, the law is stupid.
ok, you have a fast car that can do from 0-150km/h in 10 secs, and u have a slower car that can do the same speed in 17 secs.
So if someone still wanted to go that speed in a car, they would have an extra 7 secs to live before their accident?
and lets face it, how many cars nowdays can get to 150km/h, about 90% i would say?

Its hardly the top end speed that is going to kill you. Sure some of them might be going at those speeds and miss a turn, etc... but a lot of these accidents are also result of the inexperienced driver not knowing how to handle their high powered car. When they are trying to be a boy racer they nail it around the corner, break traction, plow into a tree, person, oncoming car, etc...
I honestly think its a good idea to limit the power to weight ratio for at least the first year of their P's. Passing a drivers test hardly qualifies you as a good, let alone responsible driver.

Agreed.
Hey in Brissy you don't need to display your L/P plates and you follow the same rules as everyone else don't you?
Is this because people are less aggressive on the road? My friend came to drive in Sydney from Brissy and told me people drive really crazy here. He said the roads in Brissy are smaller as well (not the motorways, freeways etc.).
|
that might be all true, but all the recent P plater deaths i have heard of are from excessive speeds past 100km/h on back streets and major roads. You have a point there about drivers not knowing their cars well enough and i guess thats what causes accidents at high speeds.
