Depends on the mentality of the driver really.
I was driving my ef xr6 turbo for most of my P plates then for the rest I was in my current car BA xr8. Never came close to coming unstuck because I drive reasonably sensibly and didn't try push either my or my cars limits.
don't yet have any bans on P platers in canberra but there is talk of bringing them in on high perfomance cars and night driving and passenger restrictions
