L platers - banned from Freeways?

[windowlicker]

Should they be banned until P plates are attained?

L plate cars present a rolling road block on a Freeway. Some trucks and caravans are bad enough, but the sheer numbers of L plates on the F3 north of Sydney is lunatic.

Before the advent of the logbook which requires a learner to rack up 50 hours of driving there was no issue, inexperienced drivers probably avoided the 110 overtaking drama. Now the freeways are teeming with these learners on long drives on the freeway to get their hours up. They go along at their top speed limit of 80kmph and traffic going by is doing 110kmph at least. Someone is going to be killed, it just needs the right adverse circumstances and it can all go to --- real fast.

End of gush.
