Not now, i did in the 90's but thats irrelevant because the article was in a WA paper and from what i can gather is a Nation wide push.
Therefore, NSW's current testing requirements would already have this covered, they would simply need to black list pre 2002 cars for L and P plate drivers as they have with Turbo and V8's.
Where it would have the greatest impact is here in SA where we have zero testing and have been a dumping ground for easern seaboard ****boxes for as long as i can remember.
Its the perfect medium because those who cant afford or cant obtain finance for a new car can maintain their pre 2002 car with regular repairs and the accompanying certificate of fitness to keep them honest, whilst removing them from the hands of inexperienced drivers.
It also leaves them free for enthusiasts who are more likely to maintain them.
