you guys make some interesting points here....
i do agree partially with you Starionturbo, in your previous post you have said "The fact is, when you get ur license and ur driving a high powered vehicle, ur gonna do some stupid shit, probably hurt yourself or someones loved one". i understand that once people do get their p plates....a lot more stupid shit happens, unfortunatly thats how it is sometimes. i cant say that im the perfect driver, ive done my amount of stupid shit over the years since ive owned my r33, i do know now that its fairly pointless and i shouldn't have done it, lesson learnt i guess. i have however owned my r33 since i was 17 and it has been a learning curve since then..and yes, i have learnt some things the hard way heh. but if you take these kinda cars away from the drivers at a young age, how will they learn? yes, you can work on the assumption that people get smarter and wiser once they get a little older....but speaking realistically and looking at the drivers on our roads, i dont see that too often. A p plater having a turbo car with no experience with these kind of performance cars.....someone off their p's in the same situation...what is the difference?
i personally think the more experience people get with these cars the better it is. obvously, no one wants drivers to use their cars as weapons and to see people hurt/killed because of stupid shit. true, it comes down to the attitude of the driver, and some people never grow up. any car can be used as a weapon, its a sad fact. things like driver training should be enforced, not this bs rules where people cannot drive at a specific age
