An Amicable Discussion On P Platers And The Law.

And the alternative is? Colin Barnett? lulz.

And the alternative is? Colin Barnett? lulz.

There never seems to be a good alternative.

I dont know want barnets policy's are but they did mention on the news he is claiming to make large tax deductions, sounds better then Carpenter increasing teacher salaries and creating railways that will never effect me. Not to mention Carpenter in control will = big trouble for performance drivers.

Neither, I'll just cast another donkey vote... like what I have being doing ever since I started voting.

They really should make voting optional rather than compulsory.

Carpenter in control will = big trouble for performance drivers.

The other party is no different, in fact wasn't the opposition the 1st one to bring forward the idea for this ban (after that 180 crash)? However I read from the paper that they say their ban will be based on kw/weight ratio rather than straight all v8/turbo/supercharger.

Neither way, I'm only going to the election coz I don't want to get fined.

[Marco-R34GTT]

Hmmm...

Left of centre policies... Confiscation of personal property by the central government.. Draconian and unjustified law-making.... False, biased and totally unsubstantiated propaganda in order to instill fear into the hearts of the voting masses, labour (unionist) parties at both federal and state levels, not to mention the deputy PD is a ginger... Anybody sense the red mist descenting over our country???

Sounds like we are heading for this...

Be afraid be very afraid...

Better dead than red!

$20, in the last election, my mum was in New Castle & she was working all day so she cbf to go & couple of month later we got a $20 fine.

Funny thing is, she doesn't plan on going to this up coming one neither , shes got a full shift on Saturday @ the hospital; she rather get fined $20 then miss work where she's getting paid 1.5x than normal.

Donkey it is

Thats the way, join the "Donkey" brotherhood

Oh god... I though Chairsniffer troy was bad enough...

And the alternative is? Colin Barnett? lulz.

Btw, can he ban (by that I mean put them on a strict probation) old people driving while he's at it... Today right in front of me an old lady went straight through a red light ( and I mean it was red, like had been red for a minute and other cars were stopped) and the guy going through the green light almost T-boned her if he had not have been quick on the brakes...

i seriously doubt its going to happen because it affects them all(the old coots and the government) directly and it will then be seen as unfair and wrong. its because they are so experienced that they hit the accelertaor no the brakes.

[kleicl]

This is S**T i am on my red p's does that mean i need to trade my r33 GTSt in

thnax

[s2k12]

Not if you already have the turbo registered in your name before the laws come in, that's the only way around it.

For those talking about donkey votes.. You do realise they go to whoever is in power at the time, right?

[Nizmo]

They really should make voting optional rather than compulsory.

It is - you don't enroll = you don't have to go vote.

Haven't been fined yet ..... Sure they've knocked on my door a couple of times and suggested i should enroll but meh ..... when there's a phucker worth voting for then i'll enrolll. Least i have a clear conscience that i didn't nominate any of the a55 wipes to get in.

That is all.

Is there a way for me to un-enroll?

[dan_the_man]

oh heck. look just vote liberal.

[Pattygtst]

Alan isnt due for a re election until next year i believe, but because the liberals are in disarray he is calling for the election now. Thats is one dirty ....

Its not like those two are the only choices either so look outside the square if you care

[Pal]

labour for me. barnett wants to privatise the power utility (where i work) and then we can watch the power bill skyrocket more that its gunna be. im not going to vote for a party that cant decide what leader to have, and to vote for someone thats been in power a couple of weeks . suicide.

[Marco-R34GTT]

and to vote for someone thats been in power a couple of weeks.

Considering firstly he isn't even in power yet (ie: leader of the opposition), secondly, he has lead the WA libs before, he is no stranger tot he job, and thirdly, He's got years of experience in the parliment and understands the political system inside and out. Carpenter on the otherhand is a washed-up ex journo that leads a party that is essencially and utterly corrupt from the core.

John D'orazio:

In May 2006 D'Orazio was stripped of his portfolios after it was revealed that he had been driving for two months without a license after he had had a car accident in a ministerial vehicle. He had lost his licence after failing to pay several speeding fines. He was forced to resign from the Party as a result.

By August 2006, D'Orazio was caught up in a corruption investigation and had to front the Corruption and Crime Commission to explain phone calls between himself and Pasquale Minniti, who allegedly was using his influence with officers in the Western Australian Police force to have speeding fines dropped.

Brian Burke:

Brian 'Mr essencially corrupt ex-premier' Burke

Ljiljanna Ravlich:

When the Gallop Labour government was elected in 2001, she served as a parliamentary secretary until 2005, when she was appointed as Local Government Minister. Shortly afterwards she became the Minister for Education. Charged with the implementation of a controversial OBE (Outcomes Based Education) policy, she held a high-profile portfolio and received much media coverage before losing her ministerial position.

Hmm, a party with a leader that is about as robust as a bubble, a failed business man for a treasurer, a former minister of education that did everything in her power to impose upon the education system, a new means of grading students that proved vastly unpopular with both parents and teachers. At the point where OBE finally came into force, it was withdrawn under immense public pressure. We had an ex-minister for police that engadged in corrupt dealings with a disgraced ex-premier and also was shown to be a complete hypocrite by holding the police and justice porfolio whilst cruising the streets of Perth, in a tax payer funded vehicle, without a valid drivers license... That is just the tip of the iceburg... Give me Colin's Kimberley Canal anyday...

i agree that p platers should learn to drive properly before being put behind a high powered car. But more importantly, driving is a privelage and i believe its not just high powered cars that is the problem. I think p platers are not getting adequate training before being let onto the roads. And i dont mean that the tests are not harsh enough as they are. But maybe make a program compulsory that is run by the governemnt a step in the whole process of getting your licence prior to receiving it. Ensuring adequate training is more vital.

You can give anyone any car and they can hoon in it. Yes, high powered cars make it easier to hoon but if a person has been trained in most emergency situations they can drive anything within reason. I can say when i got my licence, i hadnt even encountered or talked about the many situations you can get into in everyday driving and maybe its more education that the public needs than just harsh laws.

Just my two cents.
