I heard Mr Costa regurgitating the stats last night on the radio... apparently P-platers make up 7% of driving population, but are involved in 17% of fatal accidents...
NOW, what i want to know, firstly of that 7% how many actually drive performance cars... i would say it would be <1% or ~10% of p-plater drive performance cars probably less... Secondly of the 17% incolved, how many were driving performance cars in the accident (this i can't say but it would not be about 10-20%).
So why do the remaning 90% of p-plater who probably cause 80% of the fatal accidents get off without any sort of "penalty"... It's clear the only solution is to ban p-platers full stop (tongue in cheek)...
Congratulations to the Carr government and it's continued short-termism on issues in NSW. Carr has to go... for these reasons:
1) He waits til Sydney is in crisis before addressing the water issue;
2) He waits til the trains are in crisis before he addresses them;
3) same as above two but it's Hospitals in crisis;
4) These bollocks p-plate rules;
5) NSW is the most highly taxed state in Australia.
I only have one more point to make, which has already been made... but if a p-plater is going to drive like an idiot, they will do it in whatever car they have. I know, i was there did that somehow survived my p's, bought a skyline and respect it more than i respect my own parents...
End rant.
