South Australia introduces a U-Class license for high-performance vehicle drivers, facing criticism for lack of practical training and limited scope.
South Australia's new U-Class license for high-performance vehicle drivers has faced criticism for being ineffective and a form of bureaucracy, as it requires no practical training or assessment. Introduced in response to a 2019 tragedy, the licence applies to vehicles with at least 500kW; however, critics argue that it only covers a limited range of high-powered vehicles and does not address responsible driving. Some suggest a mandatory, subsidized practical driving course could help improve road safety.
