my first car was a 1L sierra ute, i couldn't speed. it only went 140km lol, don't get me wrong, in that car it felt SO fast. that's what red plater's need. tiny utes. i learn't how to get it sidewards, fishtails, all that kind of stuff.. only difference is it was a 4x4, so i wasn't going up some street with houses everywhere, i was in the quarry, out of EVERYONES way. it was good too, becuase i only had 1 seat, so i couldn't get a car full and egged on to do burnouts and speed, as teenagers do. i think having this car taught me a lot, and kept me out of a lot of trouble i probably would have been in if i bought some old falcodore. i'm 19 now and a lot maturer then when i first got my red p's. i know i would have done all that stupid shit, i'm an idiot right.. flame me, you're all right. becuase i was restricted by my car, i couldn't do this at all, sure if would have been fun, assuming it all went to plan and i didn't get booked, or kill anyone. maybe even more restrictions need to be put in place, so young people can realise how stupid they were.
or on the other hand they will get off the restrictions, craving to speeed lol, but that's just my expierence.
