good post, well written too!
there was also a study conducted in WA that showed their was no link between high powered vehicles and "in experienced" or " p plater" car accidents, it actually found the opposite that there was less accidents in these cars.
got brushed under the carpet well, of course the media weren't interested.
most hoon related offences would be unlikely to cause major accidents anyway lets be honest, i could go drop some skids in the middle of an industrial area and get my car impounded, i could also drive down the monash freeway on my mobile phone texting/talking in peak hour and only get a fine and demerit points.. not saying either is acceptable but i know which i feel is more dangerous.
