fact: everyone is sick of hearing about young drivers dying/crashing every week in the papers.

young drivers = problem............FACT!

Wrong - You're making the mistake that most of the ACA viewers are making. Yes, everybody hears about it every time a young driver does something stupid and hurts themselves, but, realistically, they aren't that much more dangerous than everybody else. They just have worse PR.

Imagine if every time an old person did something stupid on the road if it made the front page, you'd have the country up in arms about how old people should be retested, but, old people watch ACA for more than comic value. If they started abusing them, they would be undermining their own viewer base.

I can't remember the exact number, but, they sensationally gushed that something like 12 people had been killed street racing in the past 8 years or so. I can't be bothered looking up the numbers, but, in the same period, there had been over 10 000 people killed not street racing....

So, why do they pick on young drivers? It's fairly easy, young people don't have a strong political lobby, they also don't have the money to fight this sort of stuff in court and most importantly, they don't buy as many newspapers or watch as much current affairs TV....
