Something has got to be done about them.
Now that I have sobered up from the overwhelming attack of mirth that Fey Hag's post about learning to speak English, had on me, I have got back to the grim thoughts that had been affecting me after I had read on my computer home page, about how an 18 year old lad, who has had previous speeding and alcohol convictions, was picked up driving on a restricted licence, three times over the limit, doing 180 KMs an hour with 6 other occupants in the car as well. This was at 8.30 on Saturday night , on the Northern motorway, which has a speed limit of 100 kms an hour. It couldn't get much worse than that can it? What the hell do you do with people like him? It fills me with despair just thinking about it. Obviously convicting and fining them doesn't act as any deterent, as he has had that previously.
I really think they will have to start taking their cars off them, and also cancelling out their restricted, or full licences as well until they had matured enough to act with some responsibility. I don't suppose it is practical to bung them all in the slammer , they are full now already with all sorts of other mongrels, who have killed and maimed. What if they had to forfeit their licences, and had them cancelled out for a minimum of 5 years, and their cars impounded for that period of time as well. ? I wonder if confiscating their car, wheel clamping them would help to make some of them buck up their ideas? Could that make some of them start to act a bit more responsibly I wonder ? I also think that any other person getting into a car with a driver they know has been drinking, should also be fined. Apart from the obvious risks to themselves, by their actions these passengers are condoning their friend's irresponsible behaviour and or giving him the opportunity to skite and show off. It is just not on. Too many people are at risk here. The laws have to be tightened up to include, taking and yes, even crushing their vehicles if they continue to blatantly not give a damn !
I am writing to the Prime Minister about this. I am heartily sick of hearing about all the wasted lives, and the dreadful, shocking accidents that have been taking place all through the country. It is murder on 4 wheels, and as deadly as a firearm.
