This exactly what I'm talking about. The reason these people aren't labled "bad drivers" or "a danger to other road users" is that the people doing this tend to be the prime demographic for the 6 O'Clock news. The News isn't then going to bad mouth their main audience because face it.....who wants to come home from work and get labled a "bad driver" or "danger to others"?
But yes, Mick, it most certainly is a fad in the media to juice as much from one story before finding something else to drone on about, and nor is it a new fad. It's also the reason I no longer use mainstream media.
Yet when I pass one of these people doing 60 in an 80 zone and we make eye contact.....I just KNOW they're thinking "bloody speeding kids!"
