Ban on VTEC powered cars for P-platers
August 7, 2006 - 11:19AM

P-plate drivers will be banned from driving VTEC powered cars from next year in a NSW government crackdown on young drivers.

The ban, to be imposed in early 2007, will prevent P1 licence holders from driving high-performance vehicles such as the S2000, Integra and Civic after a number of accidents involving VTEC kicking in unexpectedly.

The VTEC in Honda's vehicles results in a sudden, massive increase in power once a certain RPM threshold is reached. While experienced drivers are able to take advantage of this, known as it being "VTEC Time, dawg"; novice drivers were unable to handle the effects of VTEC kicking in, yo.

The ban would restrict young drivers from getting behind the wheel of popular models like the Accord Euro and Jazz.

After hundreds of pictures of accidents resulting from the kicking in of VTEC in Honda vehicles, the government decided that after independing testing was conducted the cars must be banned.

"I believe there is sufficient evidence to take a decision on this matter now," Mr Scully said in a statement.

"I have asked the RTA (Roads and Traffic Authority) to begin work on the necessary arrangements so the changes can be introduced in the first half of next year."

The changes, two of 11 proposals for young drivers made by the state government recently, would require major changes to licence registration processes and computer systems.

Exemptions will apply for family and work responsibilities and cases of "hardship", the minister said.

Community consultation on the other nine proposals would continue until February 28, 2007.

aww hahahaha yay QLD is immune for now

wat sort of bs is that but it kicks in after 5,000rpm usually and that means the drivers are already speeding.. its not like they are goin 30k/h behind sum1 and wooah the vtec kicks in lol.. ahhh hehehe

oh i dunno how it is in nsw but wouldnt they like bann P platers from turbocharged cars as they may not handle the boost which is stronger than the vtec.

I'm sure you noticed the sudden G-force in the Genki last week or does Mazda S-VT stand for Subtle Valve Timing.
