View: L plate drivers should be on P plate restrictions.

[chrisfpv]

Hi guys and girls,

Tonight while driving something came into my mind that i'd never really thought about before, and that is the restrictions that L plate drivers have here in Victoria, or lack of I should say.

I'm not sure what the current laws and restrictions are in other states, but at this time it looks to be legal for L platers to drive high performance cars such as V8s and Turbos.

I always new about this but never really thought about it until I pulled my XR6 up next to a very nice XR6 Turbo ute last weekend, with L plates on it. The picture didn't look right if you know what I mean.

Whilst driving tonight I ended up behind a mint looking black VE HSV R8 Clubsport with a supercharged badge on it and L plates in the window.
In my opinion it isn't right for drivers with little experience to be driving around in cars such as Turbos and Supercharged R8s, yet P platers are heavily restricted (in victoria).

Am I alone on this one? What reason could there be for the restrictions to be the way they are currently? Am I missing something?

It just seems to dangerous.
