i love the people that are cool about everything cops do and agree with everything the government/powers that be do.
dont they have minds of their own?
p platers and import drivers arent the only issue, yet that seems to be what were made to believe, if you drive an import, or youre a p plater, youre the devil and should be made an example of at the earliest possible convenience.
getting your licence is far too easy.
theres another problem.
introduce driver education in primary school, adjust peoples attitudes towards the roads while theyre young. introduce driver training as a compulsary high school subject. dont pass? dont get your licence. decrease the number of errors youre able to make. 2 or 3 is more than enough. or atleast encourage people to take advanced driver courses.
you dont need to be re-evaluated until youre what? in your 70's?
yet another problem.
introduce mandatory refresher courses every 5-10 years.
the road system is in such a state of disrepair that you can be the best driver in the world and still be caught out by the roads. (dont know how it is everywhere else, but in sa, its f**king shocking, every road is potholed).
you guessed it, thats another problem. and what do they do about it? fix the roads? hell no! they just lower the speed limit and throw a few speed cameras in.
everything the government does is a simple, yet ineffective knee jerk reaction. oh, a p plater was involved in an accident with 3 passengers in the car whilst being the designated driver after some fun in the town, introduce curfews and passenger restrictions immediately.
government says take it off the street, fair enough, theres one open track in adelaide, 3-4 hours north of the city.
open places for people to take it to before you tell em to get it off the streets.
reward people for taking it to the track, dont f**k em over by placing defect stations at the gates of every event.
dont crash car shows handing out canary's.
i could go on for days and days.
i probably went well off topic there, but seriously, p platers are not the friggen problem. and knee jerk reactions are not the solution.
/end rant.
edit: spelling.
