Being a P2 driver at the moment I can see the validation in your comment, but as a rural fire fighter and trainee paramedic, no matter what size vehicle or engine you limit young drivers too, they will always try and mix motor vehicles, high speed and alchol together with deadly consiquences. Also it doesnt matter whether your parents are the richest people in Oz and you are chauffeured every where, and mummy and daddy pay for you attain your 100 or 200 hours required through a professional driver trainer or you come from the poorest of families, once they get their P1's (red P's) they are still going to be like any other young driver and try to push the limits to find their own boundries/limitations and unfortunately more often than not MY generation is finding them withs extremely serious or deadly consiquences.
I feel the only way to make a serious impact into the way young people act in or around motor vehicles is to them watch some real life fotage film by the police and fire brigades of teen driver accidents that way we might be able to scare the message into them
