They want to introduce a 30 day suspenion for anybody caught speeding...yeah, 5-10 km over will result in a 30 day suspension, which will in turn cause your insurance rates to go up, like crazy may I add. A regular speeding ticket of 5-10 km over doesnt even cause you to lose points, yet with this law, you'd be fawked in the ass (Hard, no lube) because the insurance company will just see the word suspension and then dollar signs.  Like they need anymore of our money  :rolleyes:

As for the drinking part, just make it across the freakin board.  why is it ok for adults to be within the limits?  When I was 21, there was plenty of 'adults' I could drink under the table.  :lol:

When I was that age, my dad made me my sisters fawkin taxi.  Whever she and her freinds wanted to go somewhere and my father didnt want top drive, the answer was 'ask your brother'....and she had hot freinds.  I couldnt say no.  Witht his law how are the older bro's supposed to pick up the sisters hot freinds?  Bulls***.

Stupid rules don't make things safer, better driver training makes things safer

You can't legislate intelligence, good sense, responsibility, good judgment, or good driving skills, ... so the only options the legislators have is to legislate behaviour modification that at least approximates those things.

I agree with the better driving training - it's been my position ever since my highschool driver ed that included water-soaked skidpad training, emergency maneouvers and threshold braking, among other things ... and let me tell you ... in a 1968 Dodge Monaco with skinny tires, no ABS, and a torque-monster 318 - all of those things were really hairy - and lessons I learned for life.
