fair enough mate. thats your opinion, you are welcome to it. luckily this "minority" you speak of is actually the majority, and youth drivers are in fact the minority. so yeah, sucks to be be on your p's then. ill see how you feel after 15 years of driving and every summer when the influx of retarded p-platers hits the road.
That is a pretty broad statement to be making. You obviously have never driven around me, nor many other people I know. Having said that, I do acknowledge that there is a problem with a small percentage of young drivers, admittedly more than the general population who do stupid things behind the wheel. These people do need to be punished-but to say that everyone who happens to be on their P's is like that is just stereotyping.everytime i see a p-plated car with a male driving i like to watch. guaranteed within 5-10 minutes they will pull some stunt which an expierenced driver wouldnt even dare to do. everytime i see it happen, i am glad they have a car that forces them to do that stunt at 80kmph, rather than the 120kmph a powerful car would be capable of in the same space.
[im still lol'ing at the minority comment. like that 1% rally huh? WE ARE THE 1%!!! uh huh, and you aint gonna change **** so get used to it]
Natural selection is just getting rid of the idiots.
when I feel like giving my car **** I go somewhere there is no traffic and I can do what I want and not get caught but I'm only endangering myself.
In a few years if I end up going for tom kenyons job this policy will be challenged.
What needs to be done is to have this replaced with EDUCATION...... i've said this time and time again, back in highschool a teacher noticed all the kids dying in the hills..... it took him a little research to workout increasing the age restrictions wouldnt work, a performance restriction wouldnt help.
The only thing that would is TEACHING the kids how to maintain and look after a vehicle, judge HAZARDS and try to prevent them and what to do if you do get yourself into a bad situation and most important of all...
CHANGE the attitude of kids by showing them a wreck, meeting those affected by collisions but the most important lesson I believe he taught was how he ENCOURAGED all of us to get our licenses, the more experience on the road the better, if you thought that was controversial there was the best day of that year the track day.
All us kids thought awesome we get to speed around a track..... no jordy was smart..... each of us had the **** scared out of us by a professional race driver doing all the tricks us kids are accused of on the roads..... with a real race car and making us realize how dangerous it was in a race car with safety gear and a roll cage...... imagine doing it in a normal car.
I've said it time and time again his course saved lives.... birdwood high became interested in it and the government refused to fund it and saw it as a optional course and a waste of money.
Any serious government would see this as a REQUIRED safety class. I'd take this a step further. I would include drivers education as a school subject.
from years 10-12 All kids are to do atleast 1 driving lesson a week.
Each student is to learn both automatic and manual, drive a fwd, rwd, 4x4 and required to learn how to handle a v8 or turbo.
This will save us money spent on emergency services to pull people out, watch them die or end up on disability for their entire life.
This will SAVE LIVES.
This will save money wasted on these silly laws.
Bernard Tomich is a good example of this. Why the hell would the QLD RTA let him drive an M3 on his P's? He clearly earns enough money to buy a less powerful car. What a tool.
