Then you get the nervous uncoordinated kid who is a slow learner and cant drive to save his life. Proof of this? look to formula 1 most drivers that get looked at are in there late teens, same age as a p plater... Mark Skaife actually started racing cars before he was licensed so an L plater showing people the way...ok thats racing but still involves knowing how to drive a car.
Everyone is different there are people of all ages that are shocking drivers and fantastic drivers.

For one your comparing car racing with driving on the road, two completely different things. And yes people learn at different levels, but no P Plater is a good driver, as I said yes there are SAFE P platers and knowing how a car works does help, but P platers are still learning, thats why they wear P plates. I have done motor cross, I have done drifting and drag racing for a few years now, yet at 26 I still think I have a heap to learn and do not class my self as a good driver. I am a safe driver and I can drive a car, I can also get out of dangerous situations, but I am still learning everyday on the road. Any idiot can drive a car, it aint exactly that hard, but to be a good driver takes many years of driving not just passing a driving test.
But back on topic. If I was the one doing the article, maybe they should encourage p platers to get out in the traffic to gain the experience for the easter break.
