Geez I cant stand IGNORANT old fu(kers who dont know what the fu(k they're talking about... this guy is a moron, scouring the news for the latest "hot topic" to talk about... it's not as if he has any real concerns for the number of accidents involving ALL car types over the holiday period... not only skylines. It's all about ratings and what topic will generate the most controversy.. pffft.
The shameful thing here is that so many of the general public are influenced by what they see, hear and read in the mainstream media - their beliefs are shaped by what they see in the media. The impact is police will target import cars, particularly skylines, just to be seen to be "doing something" about the so called problem - but the problem is NOT the cars, it lies within the maturity of the drivers. So we need driver education, not talk about Skylines being a death trap. Skylines are not a badly designed car, and they handle well in the hands of a responsible driver. Accidents will always happen, and can happen in any car.
I think it is poor form on behalf of the media to single out skylines as a car type being the danger here. Governments can crack down on the cars and impose restrictions etc. but they are not attacking the root of the problem, only taking the easy target by defecting cars, etc. which is a flawed approach that will never work.
/end rant.
