P-plate Laws and Recent crash

[NA_Goodness]

So if we have 12 now, when the laws come in it'll automatically drop down to 4? Or only if you get your P's after the laws come in? Cos how many people have less then 8 demerit points left? If that happens, so many people would unfairly lose their license!

[gersfan]

I'm sure I read somewhere a few months ago that if/when they bring this change in if you have less than 12 points you will still have 4. They won't be able to take people's licences over it. I'll try find it.

When you get pulled over DON'T ADMIT ANYTHING!

Thats how you get into trouble for shit you didn't do.

When I was on my P's with my Torana, Cops used to harass me all the time accusing me of things a I definitely didn't do, They would yell, threaten and swear at me trying to get my to admit to doing burnouts/speeding.

Even when I did do something wrong, like driving at 130km per hr on the brand hwy going to Geraldton in my pulsar. They pulled me over, breathized me and asked if I knew how fast I was going. I said I knew but didn't admit to speeding. He then said we clocked you at 130kmph, I shrugged and didn't say anything. after that he just let me go...

On that note, Don't break the law, its bad. lul

was watching the news just now and this whole crash thing that happened yesterday on the freeway. the news rekons the "nissan sedan was a high powered v8". is this just the news getting it completely wrong again?

[viet_boi]

yep the news is getting it wrong agian.

was a 180sx, P Plater, Passenger (16year old girl) died.

then on Friday night, commodore lost it at high speeds, hitting a pole, chopped it in half and throwing a girl in the back seat into on coming traffic (A Subaru WRX) which chopped of her leg.

Crazy weekend I tell yah..

[noisia]

u rekon the commodore was a quad turbo v16?

[ix9]

Yep, completely wrong on the report

"Public and friends are calling for engine size limits"

It being a 2.0L SR20 = now they'll be punishing V8 drivers Sigh.

[Topaz]

So if your a teenaged female and on your way to being a passenger with a dickhead, don't do it because you will die or WORSE!

[viet_boi]

^^^ haha I agree..

But WA is so far behind from Eastern states, they've already got all the bans on P Platers on what they can drive. yet over here hasnt followed

R.I.P to the girl

This had me really confused last night. They showed a pic and it was obviously a 180sx then they mentioned a Nissan Sedan. I firgued at the time there must have been 2 cars or something.

[NA_Goodness]

2L, 4 cylinder engines don't sound to powerful. Was the Commodore a V8? Cos no matter how powerful a car is, you can do something stupid and kill yourself with it. Even a Charade...

[viet_boi]

yeah true, but just feel sorry for the girl..its always the passenger that dies..

seen to many similiar shit on tv about a P plater guy speeding, crash, passenger (Girl) die.....guys showing off i guess?

I was just talking to my dad about this and agree completely. You're going to be able to go at high speeds and do stupid things in any car. It's down to the driver being smart enough to realise what they are capable of doing safely.

[NA_Goodness]

I've driven my mum's car (1.6L Protege) at over 40km/h over the limit without even noticing. Then I'll drive my car (2.5L Non-turbo R33) at just over the limit, but I've driven a few turbo cars, and I keep it at the limit. Not sure how it works, but the more powerful the car, the slower you drive. If that makes sense?

[Magic]

Didn't they say something like it's had $6,000 worth of engine mods, converted to supercharger or something.

Either way, does anyone remember the number to vote 'no' on the p plater performance ban, just so all the mums watching the tv don't win by default.

[Ten Four]

P plate performance ban could be anything :| half the camrys on the road are quicker than the NA skylines and silvias lol, blah 5 star rating, it wouldnt happen if there was actually suspension in place, that said, sad incident though and that driver is going to have to live with it. The other guy in the WRX wont be able to drive for sometime now

[noisia]

yeah the guy in the 180 would be devastated. shouldnt be racing on the streets though, especially in the wet

RIP to the girl

[Magic]

Tony: The ban would apply for turbos and v8s not NA silvias etc man.

P plater power laws are good idea.

there is a greater risk of you killing yourself in something that is powerful.

[suburban drifter]

does all these rules just apply to p platers ?? off my p's soon cant wait i swear p plate stands for "Pick on me"
