I think 17 is ok to learn to drive but don't agree with kids passing their test and then getting a Ferrari off daddy for their 18th birthday.
Until 21 you should be limited to a certain power or engine size.
If i had of got a Type R when i was 17 i'd be dead by now. You learn more about driving in your first few years than any other time.

The Aussie 'P' plate system is the one that they're looking at...
This lowers provisional age to 16 (bad idea), but raises non-provisional age to 18.
'P' plate rules including engine limits, only one passenger and no loud music or something
I think it's a good idea too :old:

I think young drivers should be made to drive convertibles, so that they can hear helpful comments from other more experienced road users, such as "get off the road you fucking useless prick !!!" and other such valuable pieces of advice.

Convertibles without rollbars, airbags or seatbelts - that way they'll be more careful about making mistakes and if they're crap we don't have to worry about them ever again :twisted:

Once they have passed their test, dirvers should also have to take a course of lessons on motorway driving before being given their full licence. People just do not have a clue how to drive on motorways. They just sit in the middle lane like effing mongs.
It makes my blood boil :evil:

Everyone should take 5 hours lessons and retake their test ever 2 years as quite a lot of experienced drivers are completely rubbish at driving  |
