Petition for power restrictions for new car drivers

[Lawrence]

Good start, but why stop there? I have always believed that a standard licence should only entitle you to drive vehicles up to a certain size or power.
How about a separate test requirement to drive a 4x4 or large SUV ?
Try and drive through Weybridge when all the little Tarquins and Hermiones are being collected from school and you will be surrounded by mums struggling to get their tanks through gaps wide enough for two London buses.

That's not because they're driving a 4x4, that's because they can't drive.

My Mondeo is longer than a Land Rover Discovery, maybe that should be covered too?  Maybe a basic licence should restrict you to one of these until you pass additional tests to cover bigger engine/physical size/number of seats/number of cupholders.
