Some young guys were killed today driving a camry.. running away from the police. Speeds were only 120km/hr.
It was on the news.. its only "high performance" cars that kill people right??
people will find ways to kill themselves no matter what they drive.. This measures will have such a little effect on actually save lives. Take Victoria, they have had these restrictions for nearly 20 years and yet younger victorians still manage quite well to kill themselves..
They had some guy going about how "restrictions would save lives" and yet then he proceeds to say that his accident was driving a Mitsubishi colt and then some other guy comes on saying he was all for it because he had nearly died in something else equally pissant.. this issue has become so distorted the facts matter little.
The only few incidents I can remember from my 18-24 or so period, were friends of friends or whatever rolling an old 1978 corolla, and another a early 80's sigma... a 120kw or so 1978 torana, and a couple of idiots crashing like a datto and I forget the rest. All were very lucky, but the power of the car had nothing to do with it. Not one incident can I remember any of them being "high performance cars" . I came from a poorer area were hardly anybody could afford a V8 at that age, nevermind anything new or exotic like an import.. made no difference - accidents still occured, and fatalities around the area were common.
