Senna05 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
You guys have got me going now -

* In Canada, they allow people as young as 15 to begin learning, in a vehicle 1300CC or under. People under 20 also have a CC limit. There are less insurance hassle in Canada due to less incidents.

* In Nevada it's illegal for drivers who have driven for 3 years or less to have a car stereo.

* US statistics have proven that variable speed limits for various driver abilities actually CAUSE MORE accidents on freeway situations...

Sooo, there some food for thought... Maybe we don't have a 90-100 speed limit, but rather insist that our P-Platers only drive 1600CC cars that would stuggle to get past 140k's and will arguably stop with ease due to the weight, and no car stereo systems (or limit them to 2 x 50 wat speakers?).

That of course is just a re-active measure. The buck definitely stops with defensive driver training.
