BMW i7 Crash, Fatal Accident for 19 Years Old Malaysian

Post fatal BMW i7 accident, should different licenses be required for e-vehicle drivers in Malaysia?
Ask anyone who has made the transition from the old gasoline-powered cars to an EV and they will confirm that these new-fangled drives are capable of mind-blowing performances.
The question that needs to be asked now is should an entirely new category of driver’s license be created for EVs. The basics of driving remain the same but the level of skill required is a totally different ball game.
The torque on many of these EVs is very impressive and some novice drivers may find it difficult to properly control the vehicle.
A recent accident on the DUKE highway involving a BMW i7 highlights this. It was reported that the mishap tragically claimed the life of the 19-year-old driver who lost control of the car. A passenger of the car remains in critical condition.

License restriction should be based on Car performance regardless of power train type. 650hp Plus EVs and Petrol Cars in the hands of noobs is just a recipe for disasters. Twin Turbo large displacement engines 3.0L 6cylinder and bigger has made ICE cars just as sketchy fast on public roads.
