    Question kiwi logic

    having come from another country (wont say where) been here 2 yrs now
    im still trying to figure out how a 17 year old can drive a 400hp turbo v8
    and myself being 28 ,even after six months on a learners ,still be limited to a 250cc engine.

    F#@king ridiculous

    Yep bloody stupid eh!. Fair enough with the learner bike licence restricting the engine size but they should definitely do something about the car drivers too!!!.

    Crazy isn't it? Should be H.P restrictions in my opinion. For bikes, it would open up the posibility of having more to choose from, other than limited to 250cc.

    Same in UK and limited to 125cc (12.5hp) at first......in fact over here you could get your full licence by 16 and drive the same vehicle.......scary eh?

    I remember when I first got here in 98, I saw what looked like a 12 year barely able to see over the steering wheel of the 4X4 he was driving...

    As for logic, I don't think that has ever been a factor in creating laws.

    Not disagree mate, just confused as to why people move to NZ, (Im an immigrant myself) they tend to moan about the laws here. OK no comparing has gone on as such, but there will be. Shit some laws in NZ a few of us diagree with, but I would like to see anyone here just go ahead and change them.

    yeah, well don't go beating up on kiwi logic when you not even prepared to say where your logic is from.

    Besides it's not Kiwi logic, it's politician logic.
