your dead on there. I mean young men will always be young men, Heck even looking back now at what seems an eternity (24 now) I think its a thing that comes with age that you at one time you do stupid shit and think now how can i prevent a little idiot like i was from killing me or someone else thus bringing more shit down upon owners of nice cars, the answer is really i dont know. Education and giving younger ppl especially maybe boys in their last years of high school an opportunity (free by vic roads etc..) to take their cars to skid pans and get some of it out as well as seeing videos and smashed up cars.
as for the previous comments of media well they are a lost cause now, i mean who honestly watches tv news anymore and believes a word of it? australian news media has become a joke and is to closely resembling that of brit tabloids and the shit that comes from the us.
our biggest concern is a relationship with police that shows we are co-operating, and just enjoying ourselves and our cars, things like not abusing them at meets and showing respect get you a long way. i like the sticker idea and also liason between the cops etc.. they are the ones on the streets who actually enfore the laws not ma and pa kettle sitting in their living room complaining of everything. i think they also are a lost cause.
i am rambling now but after losing close friends in car crashes (normal every day stuff non hoon related) i must say that it makes you take a different view of things.
so be careful.
p.s excuse my shit english i have lived in Österreich (Austria) for the last year and have forgotten how to write a decent f**king coherent piece.
