yeah but what it doesnt show is that she was halfway through a 60 yard burnout when she misjudged the slope, these "hoon's" as you call them indeed will never learn
What have we got to do to get the message accross when you look at the fatalities in this area in the last couple of days????????????????????????????????????????
The 16 yr old from Griffith,,,,,,,,,,straight road ,i was passed there today.
Female near Taree .Divided hwy with mtrs of nature strip in between crossed into parked fire truck cleaning up after earlier crash .
Pouring rain & flashing lights still did not slow her down .
In the driving test do they ever test them on the hwy at traffic speed & volume, or night time ,I dont think so.

Driving instruction is only intended to get them through the drivers licence test. I don't think there is any safety or defensive instruction included in the package. Clearly not, but the age average of the road toll victims. Very sad.
But, once they have their drivers licence the hands go on the wheel, the foot goes on the pedal and the brain goes into neutral. Speed limits and controlling the motor vehicle don't seem to be part of the equation.

when my old mum purchased one of these it was once round the hospital grounds to see whether she knew where the brakes were and she could start and stop it then it was "off we go" straight to the highway's and biway's
so far I have had three VERY close calls with these things, hard to see from the seat of the kenworth when turning
Research somewhere in the world has found bad driving is genetic. I'd reckon it depends who taught them to drive. It could be genetic if father or mother were bad drivers and passed what they didn't know to their children via the steering wheel. My dad was a bulk cement semi driver for the cement works in Angaston, SA. He taught me to handle a car on country roads around the Barossa (they're all sealed now). When it came to learning in the city he gave me the basics and some great advice. "Stay away from buses and taxis." And I never forgot it, even when I was a courier driver around Adelaide in the 80's.
