    yeh that' a good idea, because increasing the insurance premiums sure hasn't done sh*t except encourage more young fools not to insure their fully sick wrx bro...

    Is it true that the government may be banning people under the age of 21 from buying any type of sports car,or V8? I just heard this. But like, is it a bill at the moment or what?

    its probably going through the Victorian government as we speak but those idiots also wanted the ADR's to be changed so that speedo's only read to 130km/h...

    As for federal, doubt it, but this huge crash with the skyline with some international pressure could change things

    L's extended to 100 hours
    P's Available when 18
    Curfue for when you cant put more than 1 passenger in the car
    Unable to drive through school zones in school hours
    Drivers retested with every license renewal

    All funded by those useless speed cameras


    so what do you think?
    I think you put it in great words there
    See thats why your the public face of AusSpam you got the skill

    I think 12 they go out so i would say they wont be drunk at 1-2am.
    So maybe 1am-6am Friday-Saturday nights. So Mon-Thurs 1am-6am Cause really a car full of 2 or more if there not going to work then what are they doing? Cops see them come on guys head off home where its safe,

    But i got one more idea, L's 15 in that 3 years you can do driving schools defensive driving and my fav physiological test. 18 on the P's, 2 years only probation if you don't lose 3 demerit points that's no speeding no dangerous driving, Plus a 1am curfew,
    If you pass this 2 year probation go onto full license. But lose them 3 points and it's the full probation time for you my friends with a extra year on top
    But pass and get full license in 2 years. But have a curfew for all between 18-25 On Fridays and Saturdays with numbers of more then 2 in the cars between the hours of 1am and 6 am. If you wanna go out and have a good time take the bus or taxi go with mates be safe

    Well to say G'Day from Dubbya-Ai, our system is Computer test, Practical test, 50 hours, Computer test, P's for 3 years. What do I reckon should be changed from the suggestion? The school zone, 100 hours may be a bit harsh, but the retesting is a sticking point. I reckon random retesting would make everyone's lives a lot easier.
