Love it or hate it, it's the best compromise there is and it's here to stay. I know, no matter what d|ckheads will always drive like d|ckheads. Either in a 1000000000hp GTR, to a Abrahams M1 tank (ok gone too far....), to a Honda City, they will always be dangerous. But fact remains that they're more of a danger to the public in a GTR than in a Honda City.
The worst outcome for future generations getting their P plates is the gov't RAISING the age to get your P plates. Just thank God they never did that. And who cares what you drive. Just be happy your driving. It beats the train and bus! I drove mom and dad's car until a year AFTER I got off my P plates. Does the car you drive really mean so much to your status among your peers?
