Haha it's called a flawed system. But no offence, I think I'd rather be in the Volvo than your car if there was an accident LOL.7th Sign said:the Exemption's are pretty stupid
my cars faster then many v8s on the road lol..yet i can still drive my car as a p plater..
I had quite a lot of extra curricular activities until year12 and gradually slowed down as the HSC drew nearer... my UAI wasn't that high as my peers, but it is perfectly possible to maintain a good balance between school and non-school activities.Templar said:Sounds like it came from someone who has little experience on the matter. I know many people who kept up with extracurricular activities yet still achieved very high UAIs. The ones who do well have good time management and the ability to succeed in many fields simultaneously, and are not easily distracted.
As for my opinion on the restrictions, I think they are crap. I understand the need to restrict P platers from driving powerful cars, but the way the NSW system is just stupid. As said, you can drive a Lotus, arguably a track car in nature, yet you can't drive a 70kW Volvo, a company innovative in vehicle safety, because its small capacity engine is boosted by a turbocharger. While the Victorian system isn't perfect as well, the power-weight ratio should be taken into consideration.
As for the car restrictions, I think there is some merit to the list (ie. P platers shouldn't be driving Porsches or GTRs), but then a lot of the cars are on the list undeservingly. I'm pretty sure cars like the Mercedes Benz C200K which happens to use a supercharger to boost power is considerably safer than a lot of the Holdens and Fords which made it onto the list; not to mention that it also has a lot less power anyhow.
