I can't help but feel as though the threats of bans are making the situation worse, to me it seems like many have gotten the "fcuk you, you can't stop me, i'll do what i want" attitude and have begun to carry on like lunatics more-so..
I'll admit as a P Plater, I've got the "you can't stop me" attitude towards the proposed bans, however my attitude is more directed at the fact I don't want to give up my "performance car" which I drive sensibly (and enjoy doing so)..
I think it's time to perhaps start putting some mild limits in place, it's getting out of hand, but they also need to focus more on driver education. At the end of the day, though, dickheads will be dickheads and you're probrably not going to change their mind. Too many people just see it all as a game.
