cc limit for L plate car drivers

[myvice]

CC restrictions don’t work on bikes, why would they work on cars?
There is away around every rule, learner rider? Want to go fast? Aprilla RS 250...
Or get a 600 sports bike and borrow a 250 for the test...
Anything the powers that be, try will be circumvented at the first available chance!
Had a mate (calls when he needs something) ask to borrow my work hack to get his learner license, not a prob, I'll keep your R6 till you get your full, or you can sell it and SORT YOUR FUCKING LIFE OUT!
Now he won’t talk to me. YAY!
He will get one off someone else, bin the R6, every body’s fault but his cause he's such a good rider!
Car learners will do the same thing, borrow a 1000cc Micra and the twin turbo will be out tomorrow, pass or fail.
Cars can be impounded, so? Daddy will help!
Put the deaths down to Darwinism if you want, it’s the innocent victims I feel for.
The parents of the kid who was killed in Pukekohe could have taken his keys off him, he had told them what he was doing and they did nothing!
Daryll did that I'd kick his ass, ban him from driving for a month and make him do track days and defensive driving courses! (Will be anyway)
But you cant help every one, I know my son will speed, it's in his blood from all sides of the family. When he's a newby on the road he'll be out with me so I can curb his thirst till he knows what he's doing a first at least!
He can have my 1500 Alfa 33, sad, but still a fast little car! I'm not teaching him to drive, there are trained teachers to do this but he will be going down lots of gravel roads with me, Puke track days, and will get the same treatment on 2 wheels!
Maybe it will help, have to wait and see...

CC ratings are the most useless thing ever though up..... ok lets give a 15 year old a learners bike licence and give him an aprilla rs250 sweet he will last long. It should all be done by power to weight ratio and no more than a certain amount of HP, say 35 for bikes and 120 for cars.

Hey do you guys reckon that learner car drivers should have a cc limit?
From step one they get to drive cars as powerful as they can buy. And there has been a lot of deaths lately.

No, but I think the cc limit on rider licenses is a load of old cobblers as well.
An HP or power/weight based system might be more sensible, but expensive to manage and possibly enforce.

to get your licence, you learn how to indicate for 3 secs, check blind spots, and fully stop and stop signs, but where do we learn how to get out of a dangerous skid?? or what effect gravel and slippery sufaces have....the answer is we don't, and thats the problem,
instead of putting cc ratings on cars, and movin the driving agew up to 18, why don't we teach people how to drive first, Ive done the pro-drive corse and skid car at ruapuna, and i think it should be made compulsy to at least go to them. you learn heaps, even tho i knew mosty of it coz of paddock racers , but most people don't get that oppunity,

If they moved the drivin age up to 18, it would be shit, Me and my mate who work together, wouldnt be able to. I wouldnt have my licence and he would be just gettin his learners.

haha, as i herd on the radio, one listener said, every "boyracer" caught doin stupid dangerous drivin should be made to pick up the dead bodys of the next crash, but thats gonig a bit far

its a good start. Everyone is carrying on about raising the age limit when its the type of cars that they are driving thats the problem...
