Not the answer either in my opinion. Kids are working from 16 on, so how do you propose they get to work, Uni etc? Dont quote public transport as that only applies in major cities and I am not sure I would want my kids on it anyway on certain routes or times and it is not often convenient.
Everyone is quick to blame speed, but that is only one contributing factor. The point everyone misses is there is usually alcohol or drugs involved that increase the bravado and bullet proof attitude, then the speed comes into it.
My wife had a good suggestion, why not make the 0.02 P plate limit for alcohol and no drugs stay in play until drivers turn 22 or for later life drivers min 4-5 years from the time they get their license?
I reckon this would do more as long as it is enforced.
All alcohol and drug positives above set limits should be immediate loss of license, not depending on case.
