When I got my licence there were no restrictions on what you could drive.
I started to learn car control from about the age of 10 by driving old beat up pieces of junk in the cloverfields back home and my first car at 17 was a 1976 4 speed, 308 HX Ute.
I can't honestly say I really had control of it but I was lucky and survived that period but one thing I did learn from losing a few friends, it's not necessarily the power of the car that kills as low power vehicles can also get up enough of a head of stream to quickly distinguish a life.
Limiting power to novice drivers is a smart move but it still won't save them from themselves.
