I remember reading the Learners Handbook when i first started driving , and the Blurb at the front said '' Having a licence is a PRIVELEDGE , Not a RIGHT"
I think that has gone by the wayside now .
When i went for my L's , the guy behind the counter gave me the answers to tick in the 'giveway test' and 'multiple choice test'
and my P's were passed with little to no effort on the instructors part .
In 6 -8 months , i had gone from a Bus riding youth , into a teenager with a VN-V6 weapon .
Anyone who thinks a V6 cannot be deadly , is as deluded as our misinformed government , I did things in that commodore that evil kenevil would **** his pants over .
Go ahead , ban V8's , S/charged and T/charged vehicles Ban anything that looks remotely dangerous . ..... Theres nothing more deadly on australias roads , then a car full of lads full of excitement and their first taste of freedom .
The system is a mess . there are gaping holes in the driving training and education in australia and the only way its going to be fixed , is a kick up the governments ass and a whopping injection of funds into the various transport departments of australia .
Increase the learners licence time from 6months to 1 year , with an enforced defensive driving course being attended before P's are granted .
Make the PUNISHMENTS fit the crime , Dont just keep issuing financial penalties .. they DONT FKNG WORK all they do is bolster the coffers , instead lets invest in some tech thats coming around the corner . Such as verbal commands/thumb scanners/electronic lockouts etc etc .
If you hoon , you get a shiny electro bracelet that disables you starting any automobile, ( scifi maybe but prolly doable these days)
Stop punishing the good kids who have taken pride in their cars , focus on the 26yo drunk driver in a datto 120y doing burnouts in the suburban streets .
