Passing your test doesn't mean you are any standard of driver other than meeting minimum requirements needed.

It's all about experience and not being a dick head.

You've missed my point. They'll crash whatever they're in because they drive like cunts. Limiting someone to say a 1.2 will do nothing, as the cocks will still crash them, as they do. All it will do is annoy the enthusiasts (like me) who have worked hard to buy a decent car that they want, only to find some pen pusher says no.

Of course the "yoof" will still crash hopefully they won't be able to build up enough speed to kill themselves. The time to find out you've run out of talent isn't in an M3 doing three figure speeds into a roundabout.

the point zetec sam was making is m3 or 1.1 saxo, its still easy enough to get upto 3 figure speeds and kill people on modern roads. Limiting the type of car wont change that.

In fact you could argue prohibitative insurance costs have in a practical sense done that for well over 10 years already. But it hasnt stopped dickheads driving like dickheads.

its taking the dickhead out of the equation thats the problem

Even regular retests wouldnt help massively. All that would do is take most the woman off the roads and the old giffers/mal co-ordinated people who fluked a test pass.

Most of the retards on our roads often know perfectly well how to drive, but choose not to drive properly but drive like retards. Just look how the behaviour on a busy motorway changes when a marked cop car is about.
