sad to hear about the chick (R.I.P) its not looking good for p plates with the new laws that thay wont to bring in. I think every one shod have to do a duefensive driveing cause befor thay get there p plates but we will probly never see that happen.

makes you think relly hard about speeding and runing from the cops.

[Thunderbolt]

I don;t know how long ago you're talking but I passed mine first go, 13 yeards ago.

I failed first go. However I have since driven more than 10 years with not a single prang. But the story on ACA the other night proves that you can get your license first go even with serious offenses, such as this chick that was going over the speed limit on one or two ocassions on the test. She even admitted that she shouldn't have been given her license.

as per Win News TV Report website

Police have released the name of the Rockhampton woman, killed yesterday morning in Maryborough.

Twenty-year-old Kristina Ann Tynan drowned after the car she was in crashed into a lagoon, after a short police chase.

Ms Tynan was a passenger in the car. The driver and another male passenger managed to escape.

The driver's been charged with dangerous driving causing death, callous disregard, and failure to remain at the scene of an accident.

Condolences to the girl and her family. Seems there were charged, some people may say thats not much but if the guys had any feelings for her they would have enough on their mind without harsher punishent. If they don't then yeah they deserve more. I know if i caused an accident and killed my wife I'd be devistated, particually if it was something as stupid as this.

The tester probably saw the halo above your head though Mud

It was obviously unwriten policy, so some would have dissagreed with it.

Condolances to the girl's family, but I have to question the reports into what the Police said they were doing. If he didn't stop at a RBT (even one being run by two officers in a squad car) how come they didn't communicate there pursuit to base? They said they didn't have time?? Crap! They were probably chasing this car for a few minutes and were enjoying the rush of the chase and when it went pear shaped they panicked and broadcast a story to cover their asses!! It was stupid to run, but you tend to run faster when chased!!

[Rhinorebel]

Oh yeah, got my licence from the local cops on Bribie Island who I had been driving home from parties at my parents house since I was forteen. I turned up for my test and they shit!!! Did it in a truck and passed after a 25 minute test that was very harsh as he made me do some hard stuff in the truck!!!

And fuel cost 28cents per litre in those days!! Yes, I admit it, I am old!!

They actually had cents back then? HAW HAW!

[Turbo Tim]

I live in maryborough too, I hope things dont get any worse after this.

That said I have never been pulled up, but I dont really drive much.

I think the car in question drove by me the other day, didnt look like the brightest lot.

and you had to start the car with a crank handle at the front.

[Col-GTSX]

Not to mention that they called hair gel "brille cream"

Not that Dave needs it...
