Ok guys.

I have been asked if I could get opinions from people (P-platers mostly) on the new laws that are being talked about and what you think.

I have about a fortnight (I have been told) and am wanting to get some guys/girls on video talking about your thoughts on all the new P-plate laws that may be comming in.

If you would like to remain anonymous that is fine as the video will be edited and Number plates and faces can be masked...

This is being done for channel Ten to be shown in a half hour special.....

Anyone can come along and have their say but we are looking for some good opinions on this and what you think should happen, not just "the Government is Ghey" :)

I am thinking it would be a good idea to have a meet some where to do this but will have a think about it and post more details soon.

Please reply if you may be interested and share any thoughts that you may have and what you would like to see...

Thanks.

What can you say, driver training is insufficient and restricting P platers from driving high powered cars isn't going to increase their ability. Standard family cars like falcons and commodores can still do high speeds they just don't get there as quickly and don't stop as quickly. Defensive driver training should be compulsory and should be subsidised in some way.

:end rant:

apparently they are planning on banning young drivers from falcons and commies as well!! so its not just the imports!

anyone see this article with the pic of the crashed lancer?

http://www.sundaytelegraph.news.com.au/sto...7-28778,00.html

not sure how the government can focus on high performance imports, when its obvious that speed is the problem... drivers need to be educated!! and from a young age... maybe driver ed like in the US? not sure what the young driver fatality stats are like there, but kids definitely need more education... harder tests to actually pass Ps might be another avenue? pass a defensive driver training course... learn how to brake, skid etc before you're allowed onto the roads.

And does anyone else think that rule about banning under 26 year olds from driving hpi cars is silly? it sounds to me like most young driver fatalities will happen around 26! : they're just delaying the problem - not fixing it!

You can read the proposals here, and submit comments (for those that didn't know):

I suggest anyone who cares about this topic (regardless of your view) submits comments. Just make sure its not some "teh g0v su><0rs" type message because that will help no one.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
