Supercar owners will have to get a special license to drive

Supercar owners will have to get a special license to drive

The idea comes directly from South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas, who revealed that the government will call for new legislation targeting supercar owners.

In a press release, the Premier's office said the bill would establish a "new licensing scheme for motorists who want to drive high-powered elite super sports cars". To be able to drive one, owners will have to "fulfill specific training and other requirements, similar to motorcycle and truck licenses". Furthermore, the legislation will ask manufacturers to remove the possibility of disabling the control (and stability) systems so as to prevent any accidents. In the event of an accident with personal injury, the driver's license will be suspended until the investigation is complete. The Premier's office went on to say that the South Australian Police and the Attorney General's Office will work together to explore "proposed changes to the Criminal Law Consolidation Act" in connection with the death a few years ago following the reckless use of a supercar within the urban context.

The new legislation is expected to be presented to Parliament by the end of the year and Malinauskas already expects a "degree of resistance" from supercar owners. That said, given the bipartisan support for some reforms, change in Australia could indeed come. What do you think? Do you think a law of this type is also necessary in our beautiful country, perhaps including a safe or sporty driving course, or is everything already more than adequate?
