    LMAO, stealthy, generally they are involved in the P plate stats which says new drivers are most at risk.

    No doubt it was DUI. But the point is, another 'P plater' added to the stats.

    South Australia has done well with the road toll compared to last year...wonder which state(s) have gotten worse, as the national road toll is nearly neck and neck as last year

    Road toll is down because fuel prices kept people off the roads.

    i would've been too mate....like when you see Asian instructors teaching other Asians and what not, how to drive

    Went to see HRVATSKI the other day, and was at the deer park safeway, looking onto the road, 2 lanes one way, medium strip, 1 lane the otherway...The idiot learner driver did a right turn at the 2 lanes into oncoming traffic

    another one today, sitting in the right side of the lane at a shopping center not knowing what the **** to do holding up the traffic

    Welcome to?

    Can I ask what is the point of this thread? The link tells us about a fatality of a driver thought to be in his 20s? and where is the link stating his real age?
    The link given mentions nothing about an irresponsible P plater/moronic youth....did I miss it.
    So big deal, the guy was 35 and not in his 20s, is that the only problem here?
    a 35 year old couldnt pass for late 20s? He was a p plater?? surely all this doesnt help the idea that P platers are not over represented in accidents.

    Or is there something deeper here. Is stealthy claiming that official SA government statistics automatically include any P plater as an 18-25 year old? Is there any proof that this is happening.....can we see it please.
