There will be some sort of exemption policy for people who need to work, that article posted earlier even made vague reference to it... can't imagine it being free though

So 16% of the drivers cause 25% of accidents hey?

Well, whatever you do, don't train the remaining 84% who cause 75% of road accidents.

Training the majority, that'd be just stupid.

Here ends todays sarcasm lesson.

Love it

LMAOOOO legend

Side note; I dont see how a 17yo can be a fully licenced driver. Care to explain please?

EDIT: Just to confirm, by open license you mean no P plates and no L plates with the maximum available of 12 demerit points on your license?

Im from New Zealand, where we get our full licenses at the age of 16 and a half,

before moving over i rang up the transport agency and they confirmed im eligable for my opens.

So, in other words, they're discussing bringing in a new rule, but with more and more conditions that will make it more of a PITA to manage and enforce...

So, each police officer will have to:

  • check age of driver
  • check level of provisional license (P1 or P2)
  • check if there are any passengers who shouldn't be in the car
  • check that they're not in a restricted car for their level of license
  • check if they have an exemption to drive that car if it IS on the restricted list
  • check if they have an exemption to drive during those hours on a weekend

Where will it end?

Here's a thought...

All of the bans and restrictions they have implemented, or want to implement, are because they're not used to driving to said conditions/with power etc...

So what happens at the end of said restriction when they are 2 - 3 years older and STILL haven't driven in those conditions?

In theory they're older and more responsible. Of course some people never change.You might say that those some people were the ones who were causing all of the accidents before any of the restrictions though.

Yep, older and more responsible (the majority, anyway, as you mentioned), but the inexperience is still there as Matt pointed out.

It's a well-known fact that the older you get, the harder it is to learn new things and pick up new skills.

Very kind of you to make your comment general rather than specific. :P

(now how did I get that left heel scrambled up with my right toe)

I may be older and more responsible, and now set in my ways... But is that going to make me able to drive in heavier traffic of a night when I've never driven in it?

Or how about when I do get in a car with 4 passengers that I can drive for, how do I get use to them all talking when I've never experienced that before?

Education and attitude bending is the only way to fix bad driving and reckless driving...

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
