Sorry but I didn't get you [img]graemlins/confused2.gif[/img] What exactly does that mean (honestly).

While I agree with the goal of getting teens into crappy cars, I think this idea wanders to far into nannyism for my support.

I don't think we want to compell kids to drive low power cars at least that's not what I want as I still am in my second driving year (made my licence kind of late) and I want to be able to drive a BMW
I simply think it's wrong if a 16 year old drives a Lamborghini. It would be nice of there was appropriate legislature for that. NOT a prohibition on Lambirghinis for youngsters but requirement of better driving courses (for all of them not only Lamborghini drivers
), higher fines for extreme speeding and DUI. Re-schooling for people caught speeding or DUI in their first year (as we already have in Austria).
We do not need a lot of new laws. We simply need to enforce the existing ones better and coach the kids into abiding them.
