My comment wasnt a criticism of what p platers are doing now, more an observation compared what i grew up with and possibly p platers a few years after me also.
And not only that, but some of the p-platers are still pushing the limits, just not on the roads so much. There's a lot that are now getting themselves into trouble off road: their vehicle is more capable than their skills on the off road tracks. As a parent, I was just as worried about the well-being of my daughter when she was out with mates, off roading, as I would have been if she was cruising around the streets with them.

Sadly, I'm still hearing about a reasonable number of p-platers being seriously injured, or killed, in the 4x4 era.
