Shiro Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 I agree with 900ss and Bozz... The government did nothing but encourage people to speed in order to generate more revenue for them! I do not think these kinds of accidents shall happen should the government give out a proper driver-training program in the first place. It is easy to see that they are not solving the problem for our lives, but they are solving their own financial problem at this stage. If I am not mistaken, the statistics show that more camera does not lower down the number of accidents, they just increase revenue. Now, where is RACV? I thought they are there for the benefits of us, as motorists, not for the government... Correct me if I am wrong.

Shiro Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 P platters should or shouldn't, Raza? I think you mean should not be allowed to drive a turbo car. On the other side, I think it is not fair to catogorized people by their age when it comes to this. I know a lot of P platers who drive performance cars and drive it like they should... i.e. wiser than most adults in an ordinary car. It's just that the cops need a scape goat. They can't put it on the P Platers, there are simply too many of them. So, instead they put it on us, assuming every young driver who drives a performance car is as reckless as morons behind the wheels. Easy target...

R34GTT-R Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I see they blame the accident on unexperienced drivers and speed.the rumour i heard last night form a bloke who knew william was they found in excess of 50 used needles in the wreckage.could have drugs been a factor?.maybe this is bullsh!t or the paper forgot to mention it so they have another case to make all us p platers drive daewoo's Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/16597-huge-subaru-crash/page/2/#findComment-343267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 oi, nothing wrong with driving daewoos. point is, most cars can reach 200km/h these days. Do you ban all P platers from driving? Have to get experience some how. The real shame is accidents like this get used as reason top introduce more knee-jerk laws.

predator Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Thing is he good have been whacked up on ju ju, or whatever else.. nobody know the full story unless they know them. Unfortnately everybody who seems it just sees one thing.. young guy driving fast car killed. There is only so much they can do.. Fact is young people will always die on the roads. only solution is to ban people to get their license till older - which they won't do.

When cars are parked on that road you there is no room, they should widen the road a bit and fix the whole thing (ie resurface it).

predator Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 That raises a pretty good point actually: often the road is to blame as much as the car, if not more so. They never really put much emphasis on that, because they know they're gonna have to spend millions upgrading it if they say the road was to blame. Just blame the car and young guys, so much easier Problem with the rexes is the false sense of security.. guys reckon coz they are AWD they're never gonna leave the road.. well guess what they can.. its more difficult, don't mean it can't happen.

Zdenko Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 easy fix and if some one else died.. they would have blamed a p plater that hover took that person causing him to crash Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/16597-huge-subaru-crash/page/2/#findComment-344488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon.T Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 OK guys, I've found out the info about the crash...seems like it was a young vietnamese guy that got the WRX as a gift as a present from his mom. Then I heard that he went to S.A with the car with to bring his cousin back from S.A (I think) he then was showing off the cars power on that bumpy road when he lost control.....Well, thats the info that I got from a friend close to the drivers mom. She is very depressed @ the moment and I'm not gonna post anymore about this.
