AI-generated summary
A 16-year-old girl died from head injuries sustained in a motor vehicle crash on a residential street in Canberra. The driver, a P-plate driver with less than 12 months experience, was driving a 2011 Nissan Navara ute in heavy rain at night and was found guilty of negligent driving causing death for failing to drive to the road conditions. The driver was also in breach of licence conditions by carrying three non-family passengers instead of one. The coroner identified public safety concerns regarding the availability of heavy utility vehicles to inexperienced drivers and inconsistency of vehicle regulations between ACT and NSW. The coroner recommended the ACT Government review restrictions on P-plate drivers' use of high-performance vehicles to better align with other Australian states.
