My 2 cents:

I have just come off my P Plates this year and i owned a 1992 civic which got my around and was made of pure awesome then moved onto my Subaru which was a little more power and also AWD. (then discovered imports and am currently trying like mad to make the switch).

Regardless of if your in a bombodore or ect, You first need to learn HOW to drive and im sorry to say there are PLENTY of non-p Platers that can't indicate or MERGE..(don't even get me started) but anyways back to my point.. I am a fan of the defensive driving courses (even though i haven't attended any myself..) and the standard nothing bigger than a N/A 4 cylinder until you clear your P's. OR Like a motorbike licence a test/ect to prove you can handle a more powerful car. (get out in a R32 on the track in the wet with boost and gate love and THEN see what your made of..)

There will be people bitching and whinging about the current laws which in my opinion are fricken joke! .. They are revenue rasing not designed to teach you how to drive and some driving instructors out there are JUST as bad! maybe chuck the kids in with some of the toyo drift team or ect... =p (how to do a 3 point turn at 120kmph and look awesome)

Learn in a Corolla or a Gemini like the rest of us did. You P Platers are f**king spoilt nowadays.

Do I detect a hint of jealousy?

They sure are taking their take time though... I remember hearing this proposal being mentioned 2 years ago...

Umm no? why would I be jealous? I was driving a 911 on my P plates

K, so I should be shot for having a 400rwhp GTR on P plates?

nah man. I'm no tool.

Just the other 99.9% of the population =)

saying you drove around in a 400hp gtr on your p's is not winning you any dick waving contests man

sure you didn't crash but you certainly didn't drive it within and inch of its capabilities either ill bet

im all for power limits on P platers IF the gov chips in some money for new cars for P platers and subsidized defensive driving.
