I kind of actually agree that a 17 year old passing his/her test should not being able to drive a performance car without proving they are responible....
I know this is hard to police but I wouldn't let my son drive one at that age.
And it would not stop this type of thing happening....
RIP.

The views of the ex-Traffic PC wasn't exactly worded appropriately (but we get a lot of that on here!! 
). However, he does have a point.
IMO, there should be a restriction on the type of the vehicles all NEW drivers (regardless of age) should be able to use. If someone wished to use a more powerful car, then they could either take an extended test or perhaps an IAM test.
In any case, I hope the young lady in question will rest in peace, and the family takes some solace from the memories recorded by her friends and relations.
New riders can't go from a 125cc moped to a GSXR 1000 without going via the CBT, therefore, why do we think new car drivers can go from a 995cc Micra to a 300BHP Scoob?

How awful!!! Its very true about one of the comments... a 17yr old cant ride a powerful bike, yet, money no option, could drive any car they wanted!! I think they should encourage more drivers to do "Pass Plus".
Thoughts to the family and friends of the girl.
