isnt that a current affair... jeez i hate that show. Its unbelievably biased. But ill watch it even though they'll bag all import drivers, call every teenage driver irresponsible and make skylines look like evil cars

Just saw that report. That lady they kept quoting was rather annoying, it would be nice if she got her facts straight. She said there is no driver education in school, however in the ACT they were trailing a program called 'Road Ready' that i took part in. It was mandatory for all students in my year to go through and pass before they got their L's, and focused on things like speeding and drink driving.

Further more, i wish that some of these people would stop looking to pawn the blame off where it doesn't belong. Ok, so imports didn't rate a mention, though i swear they showed a wrecked Skyline, but the SS commodore and Falcon GT copped a beating. Wasn't the focus on young drivers? How many young driver (i.e on P plates) do you know can afford these two types of cars? So the ads depict them speeding, or gives the impression of speed. Any idiot knows not to speed, blaming a commersial is just down right lame. Ah well. My two cents.

Yea, here in Victoria we have an L-plater education system called "keys please"... she makes it seems like there isnt any education at all. There should be more though like compulsory driver education in high risk situations ect.

Now they're blaming the commercials for the recents deaths. Jeez... they'll blame anyone as long as its not themselves

That was a really wierd and stupidly put together segment.

They go on about how P platers are inexperienced bla bla bla, leads to crashes. Then try to blame car adds because of this. wtf?

It makes no sense. How does a snazzy car add lead to inexperienced drivers dieing? The reason that girl was invovled in a car crash is because of pure stupididty. You do not stop a car in raining conditions in the middle of road when theres poor visibility, u park on the side of the road. DER!

Sooner or later the media is going to run out of scapegoats to pin this on and they'll have to do some real work and research and present the real facts.

When watching shows like ACA and TT you gota remember one thing, they care more about ratings than they do about the truth, so they'll sprout any kind of bullcrap so long as it keeps people watching
