No way would they be allowed in our mollycoddled education system nowadays!
Yes children & adults must be protected from reality & consequences.

Then there's the subject of gender orientation that must be discussed & accepted.

The Female Magistrate was big on road safety education rather than big stick..
He had to attend a week long St. Vincent’s hospital course where they visited road trauma victims… amputees, paraplegics, horrible disfigurements, as well as trauma unit Drs & nurses describing what they go through.
He then had to re-front the same magistrate, stand up and give a summary of what he’d experienced and “learnt”…
She was impressed in his response, but by law, had to give him 12 months suspension (not cancelation!) $250 fine, and no criminal conviction recorded…
Now with mandatory minimums it takes away a Magistrate's power to make decisions, you're in for X, Y & Z and then it only goes up from there.

Makes you wonder if its worth driving through the road works zone at 100km/h when no one is there and the signs are still out
**** me, 130 is just an overtaking manoeuvre

not related to speeding, but one of the best on driver distraction.

Now its a feature where your car mirrors your phone and buttons don't exist anymore so you need to look at the screen - I think VW are the last people I'd be taking a lecture from just quietly
