Nothin like dobbing your mate in

[DESAM8+PANIK]

well I can see a lot of thought has gone in to that ......are the fricken serious .... these ppl in control of this need to wake up and think about it .... yeah death toll at 21 already ... how many from young ppl assosiated with hy-po cars or hoon related ...... tax dollars at work or someone justifying thier job

[Lump]

what a joke, sounds like a publicity stunt for the video message system provider/telco

[blownVL]

yeh load of wank, government needs to lay off the acid

[Skitzo]

yeah cause that wont get abused.

[brynj]

Targeted at 'young people' who make up 25% of serious crashes. Perfectly valid statistic to use in their argument.. article doesn't hold any weight at all, then again perthnow is never exactly a challenging read..

[duste]

Isn't 'mate-ship' part of who we are as Australians?

[RICEY]

yeah cause that wont get abused.

Exactly, people will chuck in a mates details for a laugh, thing is who knows if those details are loaded into a database?

[Passage GT]

^^ exactly what i was thinking, pingpingpingpings would be doing it as a pisstake for sure

[addicted.to.speed]

Targeted at young people, who are represented in 25 per cent of serious crashes

Shouldn't they spend the money targeted at older people, who make up 75% of serious crashes??

Even if this is successful in reducing the road toll there will be a bigger rise in the level of injuries/deaths to those people who dob in others. Imagine if your car was confiscated because your 'mate' dobbed you in...

gotta love the add for alcohol that goes with a road safety article, fucking hypocrites

[titmeat]

no fkn shit
someone i know got pulled over last night got pulled over and breathalised at .25 or over cant exactly remember but it was 5 times over the limit
plus no driving license
they didnt take his car

doesnt make any fucking sense

[addicted.to.speed]

doesnt make any fucking sense

very easy to explain..

As i work in the international room at the casino i meet a lot of people with money/influence.. they often tell me about when they have been over limit. The older generation do drink drive but they dont have modified cars or do burnouts.. How often have your parents had a few drinks then carefully driven home over the limit? This in the generation that is in parliament and make the rules - they arent going to make it harder for themselves...

[titmeat]

everyone seems to work at the casino
did you know a guy called steve ? skinny pingpingpingping and looks like a rat haha
recently moved back to brissy ?

[schnoods]
