True, but the ones the police are supposedly trying to stop are the fatal crashes. Around 300 people die in QLD every year and it is only every now and then a death in a performance car is heard of. It all comes down to drivers ability, the condition of the road and the condition of the car. I did a defensive driving course with my high school at the end of year 12 and it was probably the best thing I could have done, it showed me how easy it is to lose control and that I was a long way from being able to get myself out of serious trouble. Driving tests also need to be overhauled so they focus on competency and not errors committed, it is possible to pass and be a hopeless driver just by not stuffing up (like my Mrs did).
