All the work that goes into making the car and some young undoes it all in an instant.This is why we have P-plate restrictions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeper6T Member 356 Member For: 15y 7m Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 20/10/08 12:11 AM Share Posted 20/10/08 12:11 AM When I was a 'P' plater I did a DDC (defensive driving course) through the John Bowe school of driving. While it was a bit of fun getting to do the various driving activities it was one of the best things I ever did, I have had a couple of very close calls with braking emergencies, and swerving both at speed and in normal local traffic, and I still use the techniques taught back then.One of the first things I have done before getting my T is look into the high speed course's, that teach you how to handle all the many variables that come with driving at speed (which usually cant be done until you have done a regualr defensive driving course) I consider myself a pretty good driver, like alot of people have done my share of stupid things but am not oblivious to the power these machines have and the lack of respect that some drivers show them. I'm wondering when the law's may change (if ever at all) and they'll make DDC's mandatory (offset with a % discount on insurance perhaps?) and even more so for younger drivers such as 'P' platers who purchase high performance cars. I don't want to throw a blanket over all 'P' plate drivers obviously as not all of them are as reckless and moronic as the one featured above but it's a matter of basic math and common sense - a young driver with less than 12-18 months driving experience combined with a T or any other high performing car = a much much higher chance of becomming yet another statistic.

Its a shame to see such a nice example of a T end its life like that. It really scares me how easy it is for an inexperienced young driver to get into one of these cars. I was lucky and worked my way up fro 179rwkw to 330rwkw and have a huge amount of respect for the power these cars make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
