The zero demerit plan for the first year of the provisional licence has been put forward by motoring body NRMA, with its president, Alan Evans, saying it would be an effective deterrent against irresponsible behaviour on the roads.

Another band aid proposal to make the public think the government is doing something proactive to curb the p plate death toll.

As long as it only applies to red p platers like they are saying on the news then I'm ok. Can't wait to get off my P's

So all these little kiddies are going to be driving with their head frimly planted in front of their speedo, and not on the road.

Well done.

Exactly lol.

That and busy watching for speed cameras.

Such a lame idea honestly. I can think of more than just P plate drivers who should suffer these consequences :)

What to kill everyone under 25? Or have they fixed the railway down there now so trains stop crashing?

One offence that p platers are often charged/hassled for is not displaying p plates. This applies when they are not visible enough for the cop that is looking, so even if the plate is obscured enough to annoy one, you can lose a demerit point and your entire license.

That will really keep those dangerous p plate non displayers off the road! I feel really safe now!

That is one of the stupidest things yet!

When will these retards come up with something that may work!!!

From that article:

"P-Plate deaths for 2006 increased by almost 30 per cent to 94 from the previous year, which recorded 73, according to the roads authority."

From those stats, im really confident that this new plan if you can even call it that will work, stupid twits.

In addition to that, i would like say that due to his recent plan Harold Scruby is a foolish and stupid idiot.

You only just worked that out?

The guy is a complete idiot. I've seen bags of cement less dense than that crank.

"P-Plate deaths for 2006 increased by almost 30 per cent to 94 from the previous year, which recorded 73, according to the roads authority."

Banning inexperienced youngsters from driving certain cars based on near-irrelevant criteria is reaping its rewards.

The NSW government has had several goes at reducing the road toll. Double demerits. Minimum driving times when supervised by unqualified drivers who haven't been tested for a while. Banning cars that inevitably have reasonable brakes and chassis setups. etc etc.

If my track record for driving a car was the same as the government's track record for coming up with effective road safety, unlike them I wouldn't be permitted to continue doing so. While we've both killed 30% more people on the roads this year than last year, in my case its only because an extra 30% on top of zero is still zero.

this is bs......i dont believe in making it a zero point licience. i rkn it be better to maybe lower it to 2 or 3.

ive been caught out once going over the speed limit by 6ks.....and got 1 point taken off.....just cuz of that im suppose to lose my licience....bs

if ppl are speeding over 10...or even 15....sure a lose of licience may be more fair.

and like someone said...getting a defect for something that just happened is suppse to get my licience taken off...man bs.....

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
