P platers are targeted 100%. I've been told by friends that cops pull them over based on being P-platers. It's discriminating against all young people yes, but what the hell can anyone do about it. And to address gt-ahhh!'s comment, there's a big difference between p'plates on cars and Jews wearing the Star of David. If targeting young drivers reduces deaths then it's a far cry from the Holocaust
No one likes being taken advantage of for one's tastes. But police are authorised, and will take advantage of, their right to discriminate whether a driver needs a kick up the arse. We hear of all the unwarranted bullsh!t stories on the forum, and i'm sorry for some of the dudes here getting grey hair over cops that assume their guilt based on social stereotyping. But they're paid to treat law breakers like dogs and that's to make life better for the majority (Holden, Ford and Toyota drivers). That's the reality of a democracy. Love it or move to Russia.
