RIP to the girl who lost her life in yet another pointless accident. Such a waste...hope her family can get through this.
Why people drink and drive is beyond me, all comes down to being fvcking stupid and not being able to make correct decisions (i.e. being a dumb cvnt). No harm in having a few drinks and remaining under the limit but getting smashed and jumping behind the wheel is borderline retarded. The problem in this country is the lack of education, driver training and of course the piss weak penalties. Increase the penalties and you'll see whether or not people will still risk drink driving. A $5000 fine would deter most people and if you're stupid enough to get caught, you deserve it. Too much attention is put on speed cameras and speeding alone. I don't condone speeding but any capable and level headed driver doing a quick burst 10-15kmh over the limit isn't anywhere near as risky as some drunk/drugged fvcker thinking he's inherited F1 driving abilities all of a sudden. All comes down to the drivers attitude, everything else is just a contributing factor.
The government should jump off the revenue raising speeding bandwagon and focus more attention on drugs/alcohol, driver education and training and driving attitudes. Oh hang on, its easier to slap a few more cameras up
