To The People!

Assault cars banned for some licensed Australians!
From http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum4/4087.html

No turbos or superchargers for you for 3 years. ...or v8+... or some v6's if they're "evil cars". Hillarious that the gun control analogies people make towards cars are actually being implemented. ...only in Australia. Probably UK next.

From 1 July 2007, the penalty for driving a high powered vehicle will be three demerit points and a maximum fine of approximately $1100.

Yikes. I guess if it "saves one life" it's worth it.

    Whelp, that officially removes Australia from my list of countries to move to when this one finally stops swirling at the bottom of the bowl.

    Actually the word provisional driver means they have not passed a driving test,but are driving accopanied on a learners licence,hoping to pass the test at a later date.

    I didn't think she should either personally, however I don't think there should be laws preventing it either.
