:oops: OK, perhaps a tad over-the-top there, how about a bhp restriction then ?

Would it not be a better idea to make these "drivers" to go out with the police or ambulance crews and pick up some of the mess.
Ride in an artic for a week to see how the HGV driver views car drivers and their stunts.
Give them all an 1934 type car with virtually no brakes that would make them look ahead instead of the front bumper.

Possibly - but some of them are so thick-skinned/stupid that it would be a waste of time. Think about motorbikes - you can't go out and start riding a Fireblade on a provisional licence, you need to work up to the powerful machines, so why not the same for cars ??

--- Quote from: "Jimbo" ---My idea to stop this carnage is simple - when you pass your test, regardless of how old you are, you should only be allowed to buy/drive/have given to you a 1.0l car, not supercharged or turbo'd, just a bog-standard, 1.0l 55hp old banger. Then once you've done 2 years of accident, and incident free driving you can 'upgrade' to something slightly bigger (1.4l...... :twisted: )

I agree with you both - what about a bhp limit or a 0-60mph limit for new drivers that would stop them getting behind the wheel of excessive power while they are inexperienced on the open road. Wouldn't hurt until they are 21 :wink:
