4vman says that p platers are " more likely " to be involved in an accident? so what?

open drivers have accidents as well.

who cars who is more likely to have a prang?

road toll is road toll no matter who makes up the majority.

That's an interesting point.

The horrible driving antics of people on their open licences, often aged well over 35, are never mentioned by anyone. Not the Government, not the RTA and not the media. I am on the road alot (over 1000km a week) and see them all the time. Doing over 100km/h in the emergency lane on the side of a motorway in peak hour.... driving over median strips on 6 lane highways, staying cm off the back of a car that's already speeding because they're not satisfied with going 10-20 over the limit and the list goes on. Why should they be exempt? Why should they be getting away with these things because they've got a licence that doesn't say Provisional on them? There are learner driver's better then some of these people!

Lets see what would happen if they proposed to restrict the whole NSW Licenced population in a similar manner and the chaos it would cause. Singleing out a group with the least political power to do whatever they please to so that they can make themselves seem like they're doing something and distract people from their real aim, making money, is very low. And I hope they get voted out for it.
