Crushing cars is a great idea. How many people out there would approve of drink driving every time you wanted to overtake someone, or just every now and then? Drink driving is almost exactly the same as speeding. You could do it every day for the rest of your life and never crash or cause trouble, but it's when something goes wrong that you could easily lose control.
Wait until an innocent family loved one is on the news killed by a drunk or speeding driver before you say it's ok to speed.
If your losing control, its not the speed that it is the problem, it is the lack of driver training to get out of the loss of control(or preventing getting into a situation to lose control to begin with). Rarely is speed the sole factor in an accident, it is simply in most cases a small contributor. If I am doing 140 along a road and a car pulls out in front of me, speed will be blamed, yet the complete failure to give way by the other driver is what was at fault here.
The accident the OP mentioned is one of the few fatal accidents that occurs each year where speed is one of the main contributing factors, although, I even doubt the speed was the major contributing problem here, more likely to be the alcohol and the distractions of having drunk mates jumping around the car.
Like many other Australians, you have become a sheeple to the lies that speed kills. Concentration and poor driver education is a much bigger killer. I believe a study has also proven that the low speed limits in Australia are also contributing to many accidents due to causing extra fatigue and thus loss of concentration!
Crushing the car isn't designed to stop the actual person doing it again, it's a public display to the rest of the community. "This is what happens if you do the wrong thing"
It hurts to see someone elses nice car crushed.
If someone else's car is crushed I couldn't give a ****, much like i am guessing 90% of people on JC couldn't care.
How many people today would traffic drugs to Bali after those 9 got caught and have to eat their own **** to survive jail? It's the same thing. Make an example of someone to stop it happening in the future.
Umm, the same amount of people that have done it int he past would still do it today, people have been doing it for decades, no one learns from Thailand etc, there is always deadheads out there that simply do not care if they are caught until they are caught.
