Question Conservation

G'Day Guys, and Lasses,

Tell me;
Are we as a Group;
Becoming more conservative,
or just tired up to the Hilt of Idiots, and the Like, on our Roads?
That includes some Idiots [ Many or Few???? ] on here

I would have to say that judging by the comments on here, JC members behave themselves, not necessarily being conservative. You can have your fun but as long as the environment is correct. I can't tell you the amount of flack I get on the SC forum for agreeing with speed camera's and enforcement techniques used to catch speeders.

i think as the law cracks down on hoons its makeing it harder to own a modded car without getting busted for something for e.g maybe your tyres are to big or you have gauges ect or whatever but as for conservative? yes we are! thats not neccesarly a bad thing provided it has its place but i am getting sick of hearing about anti hoon this & anti hoon that! while i do agree with the law you speed you get busted ect my gripe is the convienient denial of facts from the government! lets put things into their place shall we and have a look at the statistics! these are the facts taken from qld transport web site:
In 2005, 330 people died on Queensland roads
29,761 people were caught drink driving
On average, 1,317 drivers a day were caught speeding
6,191 road crash victims were hospitalised
the reality is that majority of young people killed on our roads is due to dd or driveing under the influence FACT!
i just hate it how the government tries to make out that all people who own modded vehicles are hoons and that modded cars are the suposed cause of death rather than the real truth which is the drug and alcahol abuse among young aussies today! It realy is sad that so many who love their cars & are doing the right thing have to take the heat from other peoples stupidity!! and as for conservation today?? well seeing as this is a car forum lets not forget that the great cars we have today both hsv/fpv where built around demand from customers who lived in the bygone muscle car era and who loved there sports cars and drew insparation from the infamous bathurst race & of course the red light drag! i guess times they area changeing and when all said and done maybe theres a good reason for conservation maybe it preserves life!

I meant NRL but AFL needs it they're getting too soft. If someone said something about my family I'd let em have it. Why not they're asking for it.

i think there are just as many fools here as anywhere else. we just do everything we can to steer the site in a respectably legal direction.

one thing people never seem to take into account is that we as people weren't meant to go this fast. we're damned lucky there aren't stacks more accidents.
