I know a bloke who was selling his 250cc motorbike and the guy who took it for a test ride crashed it and died at the scene. He was 30+ and on his full licence but was buying the bike for someone else. So it's not only experience that plays a part in most deaths on the roads. Most of them are accidents.
Also we should know by now not to believe every little story that comes from news sites, like that R31 skyline that crashed afew weeks back. First day its the high powered skyline hoon incident then the day after we get the real story about the tourist that run them off the road.
I think people should stop arguing about which age group has more deaths than others and who the worst drivers are. Accidents on the roads aren't always due to someone showing off or hooning, most of the time its due to driver error or driver fatigue.
I don't really have an opinion about the P plater laws because most of the time its all bullshit stories to create interest and it goes no where.
Yes we need a new motorsport facility
Yes we need more driver training and defensive driving courses
Yes P platers might f**k around in high powered cars and I can see the argument in putting them in 4cyl cars. But every driver can make a mistake, any car can be f**ked around in and just because it takes longer to get to certain speeds does not mean it can't get there. People can die at any reasonable speed depending on how/where they are hit so putting P platers into smaller cars isn't going to stop anything.
