It's getting to a point where these kids "learning" to drive will have spent the most of their time on the road watching everything BUT the road, living in fear and paranoia. That or catching public transport because of some lame fine which resulted in a loss of licence. And of course some who don't give a shit and do get busted hanging burnouts, driving sideways, doing 20km/h + over the speed limit.
It doesn't seem all that hard to work out which one's should be losing their licence and which ones shouldn't be. Taking someone's licence for anything other than some form of careless/dangerous driving or drink driving is ridiculous.
New law comes in, bit of an upcry. Law get's passed. Some have a cry. Soon gets forgotten when media start covering some other crap. Everyone forgets (except the poor buggers new law affects), this goes on and on for a few years, new election comes around, same party gets voted back in, and the cycle continues.
Not that I think a change of political party would do much, but when you sit back and look at the big picture, we the people really do nothing other than sit by and bitch like old farts, but the people never really unite as one and tell the politicians the way it is.
Sad thing is, not even a rally of people get listened to rofl. So basically, were all screwed. Sit back and enjoy the show. You can't change the channel cause the remote control is broken
