Restored Datsun 1600 Stacks It Last Night

^^^ Agreed!

And do you think that if our kids see us fathers (or mothers) driving fast that they're tempted to drive just the same ???

I asked my boys that once - but they said, "Probably Not"

But I beg to differ, since they

i) didn't want to offend me and

ii) liked the concept of speed themselves !!!

+1 vote for low powered cars for P-platers and compulsory advanced driver training. I'm so glad I didn't drive a skyline when I was younger.

but you did drive a skyline when you were younger :confused:

[scathing]

because the new laws for P-platers, i must admit are pretty tough......

but it just doesnt seem to do the trick........

im guessing they might have to start crushing cars for repeat negligent driving offenders...

"If at first you don't succeed, try try again"?" I suppose if you're addicted to failure......

You've already admitted that these tough restrictions, along with the extra police attention, aren't doing the trick. The War on Drugs, and Prohibition in the past, have already demonstrated the effectiveness of zero tolerance. Bigger and bigger penalties haven't really done much to stem the tide of illicit drug use.

The whole "our big penalty didn't work, lets try a bigger one" sounds like your typical geriatric that wants to stick doggedly to an idea that clearly isn't working because they can't think of anything else, but hate feeling impotent and so feel the need to do something, even if it's the wrong thing.

I could go on again about what I think about car crushing, but I've pretty much covered it all here.
