Count Grantleyish Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Ok, let me get this straight, Deputy Commissioner Ken Lay said cars that had an acceptable safety rating would be sold rather than crushed."If we permanently seize a vehicle that is not of a high safety standard, in that it doesn't have features such as ABS brakes and airbags, I cannot, in good conscience, send that vehicle back into the community," Mr Lay said. The car that is crushed, it's a VT Commodore and last time I checked, they have dual airbag and ABS. Am I missing something there?

Birds Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 They had a single airbag didn't they? And if he's taken out the airbag and replaced with a SC Auto spec wheel that would explain them not bothering to get the thing in roadworthy condition for sale... Cars should be sold to wreckers and listed as write offs, not crushed. Crushing is just a vindictive waste of time. Doesn't get done to drunk drivers' cars, but that's because their cars aren't really a pride and joy to be stomped on...very immature solution.

Harey Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Hahaha another well thought out strategy... Solution: Cars that are owned by third parties, such as a bank, will be sold to cover the debt with the remainder going to victims of road trauma. Get a loan for your car with the slowest repayments possible, that way they you only loose the amount you have paid off the loan!

People could use the panels off these crashed cars to repair their cars in the future and in the words of an enviromentalist "Keep old cars on the road for longer because it does less enviromental damage than making a new one". Just sell them to the wreckers like you say, make some cash and it helps everyone in the community with an influx of cheap parts.

Exactly, the only people that get done the third time have a piece of crap car and dont care about it. Tell me if you had a 100k GTR you wouldnt just put it in the garage after the second time. Go out and buy a piece of crap, get caught hoon driving in it and gladly hand the keys over. Does it reset after the third time? Then bring out 100k+ GTR Edited July 28, 2010 by Harey Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/330661-hoon-laws-revamped/#findComment-5370752 Share on other sites More sharing options...

VSPECT Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 i wrecken they just wanted to set an example of what they going to do...even if it meant it was reasonable to crush this guys car or not...But clearly it not going to stop anyone doing stupid things on the road...people who care about their car will play smart and take their car to the track..and for those who dont care will keep hooning with what ever car they got....

Harey Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Good comment at the bottom of the article: "They should do the same for unlicensed cars or drivers." These unlicensed drivers are not covered by any insurance if something was to happen. The police are getting too emotional about the whole thing, they need someone with a level head.

VSPECT Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 they cant get a level head..thats why they trying stuff that will never work to make the roads safer....i got this defensive drivers thing from work....went to it and i learnt so much about safe driving that i wish i learnt it before i got my P's...not while driving on my P's...that kind of thing should be cheaper and compulsary for kids on their L's so when they on the roads alone, they will think twice before doing anything stupid...THAT SORT of actions should be taken to make the roads safer NOT by crushing cars....Well thats what i think...
