    So a proper incorporation of advanced driver training into the licensing scheme, right?

    Those wishing to obtain a U class licence will be required to complete an online training course.

    Oh.

      It’s not much but it’s a start.

      Also having a separate licence class makes it easier to have laws specific to that class, higher penalties for speeding for example.

      Personally I also think having a licence class like that should have a requirement (or at least a strong incentive) to do a performance driving course of some kind.

    Motorists in South Australia can now also be fined up to $5000 if they deliberately disable an ‘automated intervention system’ on an ultra high-powered vehicle – which includes anti-lock braking (ABS), automated emergency braking (AEB), electronic stability control (ESC), and traction control.

    So does that mean if I set the Manettino to Race mode or ESC-OFF on my ferrari, I’m getting fined?

    What about if I toggle the DSC button on my fully sik Turbo XR6 falcon or WRX?
