The Prime Minister of the Australian state of South Australia, Peter Malinouskas, wants to introduce an additional driver’s license for super sports cars. The politician announced this on August 20, 2022.
Malinouskas announced that there would be a new registration system for drivers who want to drive a “high-performance sports car”. “Similar to motorcycle and truck licenses, drivers must undergo special training and meet other requirements,” he explained.
no more turning off traction control
In addition, deactivation of traction control in “high performance” vehicles should be banned. In addition, the law should be tightened, which takes away the driver’s license in case of murder charge till the verdict is out. Another level of sanctions is also being investigated in collaboration with South Australia Police and the Attorney General’s Office. It is to be introduced between the acts of “driving without reasonable care” and “death as a result of dangerous driving”.
The state government is now engaged in drafting laws and implementing reforms. They are to come into effect by the end of the year and retroactively to all drivers of unspecified sports cars.
Tragic accident with Lamborghini
This was preceded by a recent ruling on a tragic accident in 2019 in which two girls were hit by a Lamborghini Huracan on the sidewalk in Glengarry. 15-year-old Sophia Naismith died after her friend, seriously injured, crash driver Alexander Campel lost control of his sports car.
He pleaded guilty to negligent driving in court, but was acquitted of the murder charge on August 19, 2022, but found guilty of the minor offense of “driving without caution”. The judge upheld this because it could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Campbell had intentionally and dangerously accelerated.

conclusion
In the Australian state of South Australia, the prime minister wants to introduce a special driving license for drivers of super sports cars – that too retrospectively. In addition, restrictions on the closure of traction control are to be imposed and other laws to be adjusted. This was preceded by a verdict in the proceedings in which a Lamborghini driver had an accident that resulted in death and was sentenced to a lighter sentence.
