Yea you can get raped.. But driving a turbo skyline on your P's is just asking for trouble.. There's plenty of other turbo cars out there you can drive which will attract less attention.. As long as you're sensible and don't drive at stupid hours etc you'll be fine.
I hate the people who say THE LAW IS THE LAW YOU ARE BREAKING IT!!!
Some laws are a little grey.. Like this no turbo one, it was just a bandaid on a broken leg.. There have been more fatalities for P platers since these laws came in.. The government just caved in to the media..
If Person X is driving his daddy's BMW something something 2007 model pushing out 190kw's+
And Perxon Y is driving some new Holden VE making 200kw's+ but still P plate legal..
Why is it person N driving a rock stock turbo skyline, silvia, subaru or what ever making far less power than these newer cars P platers can still drive is in the wrong? IMO Person N is far more concerned about the well being of his car than person X or Y is, because he/she appreciates cars and their worth (In most cases)
The best way to fix the problem is driver training.. Getting people in the car, spinning them out in the wet, getting the rear end loose, scaring them a little, but doing it in a closed environment so they can see how quickly things can go wrong..
But the government can't be assed spending money on something like that, so instead we have our revenue raising police heading down to all sorts of places e.g Harry's defecting a bunch of guys who want to get a god dam hot dog. Why not have the 'Highway' Patrol cops actually put their road knowledge to some use and try to pass it on to the younger generation instead of nailing every tom dick and harry for a f**king pod filter?!
