I guaruntee it won't change a thing. Young drivers will still die. You can't stop that

100% correct....

I recall reading a study done by a university into justifying the costs of insurance for young drivers. and while it didn't do anything to help change the costs it did show some interesting stats. I'm going from memory here so don't quote me.

the survey was split into male female, and broken into age groups

17-22
22-27
27-35
35-45
45+

the results were based on 2 years of collected data from insurance companies to identify the risk groups for insurance brakets. The way the survey and stats were compiled was done in such a way that it levelled the field for all drivers and the result came out that the highest risk of an accident is male 45+ followed by female 45+ followed by male 22-27 followed by female 27-35. that I found interesting and the results were based on the chance of an Accident per km driven. the drama comes when you put those results to the amount of time spent driving. when the results for young drivers sky rocket over the rest because they tend to drive more than the other groups. I thik this is what spurred the whole curfew for P-Platers thing a few months bak by reducing the driving time P-Platers do thus theoretically reducing the risk.

No, people will still die in accidents end of story. P-platers and other drivers will still have accidents. the difference might be 1 particular person killing themself in a V8 commodore after just losing it in wheel spin. or the same person side swiping another car but living to tell the tale in a Lancer.
you will still get the idiot driver doing 120k's in a 50 zone mis judging a round-a-bout and rolling the car over, that can be done in a Gemini, ss commodore, ferrari but that comes down to driver attitude which the government can't really do dick about. The government is trying to stop the inexperience driver fom pulling out from behind a stopped row of traffic and gunning full throttle past them only to find that the reason the traffic has stopped is due to someone trying to back a trailer into a driveway and T-boning them at 100+ km\h because there was no time to react to the situation and a more experiened driver should know better, that same situation in a less powerful car there would be more time to react and either avoid the accident or reduce the damage done at impact.
