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...

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
