Corona RT142 Forums Junkie Location: Campbelltown Registered: November 2003	Re: Hoons ACA Wed, 20 April 2005 00:18 the fact is that in the 1970's the road toll was more than twice what it is today, yet it dropped suddenly over night because of the introduction of random breath testing. Now the fact is in these day their was a higher percentage of young ppl that died than today, except back then it was just excepted nowadays its a focus point because ppl need something to bitch about. I know its sad but i'll make a pretty harsh comment hear, out of the 300,000 odd thousand p-platers in NSW alone about 50-100 die a year, to me thats hardly an alarming percentage. Second note a lot of these accidents have nothing to do with speed or so called dangerous driving they are just accidents. One the clubsport in VIC last year a girl on her L's driving during the family holiday, probably not the best idea but how else you gonna rack up 50 hours genuinely. Second the VW with 8 ppl in it, arguably stupid but morally she was the only one sober enough to drive, actually doing less than the speed limit but hit the brakes mid corner and then lost control of the car in the wet. Third Puegot 206 convertible, girl gets new car takes friends for a drive, not speeding on a dark road doesn't see the dividing concrete barrier hits it flips the car and multiple ppl die. Fourth countless ppl that die on Appin road mainly do to fatigue, government says mover the trees i say what so they hit hit a fence or ditch, roads needs armco fencing but the fact is no matter what ppl will still die. Yes there have been plenty of ppl dieing in rcaing related incidents but the fact is these ppl have a low mentality, look at the mac fields incident they stole a car and crashed it, others racing etc these ppl are running the risk, but the facts are that no matter what we short of making our cars and covering trees and everything with mattresses ppl will still die. Driving is dangerous, heck so is breathing in the CBD but ppl still do it. Another fact more ppl die of youth suicide/drug overdose/alcohol overdose than from being a p-plater. But i don't see a massive investigation into that. Personally i think the whole system needs a rethink, one better education in schools about driving show kids videos of incidents good shock tactic. Two (ppl will argue this) but a basic driving course aka eastern creek stage 1 good course, emergency braking mainly good environment for ppl to learn the stopping distances of their car and also scare them into that they can't drive as well as they think. The test to become a p-plater should relate more to driving than it should to performing a couple of manourvers that are rarely used afterwards. I have reverse parked once since i got my p's and that was only for fun. Two scrap the green p's test its a joke, set up one in the real world at a skidpan or circuit where hazards ie tire balls cardboard cut outs jump out at ppl nothing beats the real thing, will be hard for rural areas but the current test a two year old could pass.
