Does it really have to be spelled out to you?

Yes, I'd totally trust Lewis to have the car under control. But little
bogan (chav) Johnny doing the same thing is likely to spear the car
into pedestrians.
Unfortunately we have to go with the lowest common denominator, which
sucks because it is pretty low. But I still agree with that law. I
don't want some half drugged dickwit pointing a car sideways at me
while walking down the street thank you very not.

Bollocks. I have several (unpaid) tickets in my scrapbook from 1989
that would disagree with you. The Aussie cops were humourless nazis
even then.

And since when was 'skidding the wheels' (sic) an offence?

And people think the UK's becoming a police state.

Well, because of the way insurance works here a teenager year old can
jump straight into one of the plentiful, cheap, 4 litre rear wheel
drive cars/utes as soon as they passed their driving test without
being priced off the road by massive premiums or even the price of
fuel since the government subsidises the installation of LPG and
petrol is about half the UK price.

Boys will be boys. You should see the number of burnout/donut marks on
the roads here. The UK would have similar, if not harsher laws were
similar cars accessible to young drivers.
