Because of a Lamborghini driver loosing control of his car and killing a young girl and injuring another. Parliament are looking to introduce new law that a person driving a car with a power to weight ratio over a certain level will need a special licence also if Traction control is turned off or disabled it interns a $5,000 fine

What a knee jerk reaction.Plenty of people drive high powered cars without getting into trouble.On the other hand even more people drive low powered cars and do get into serious trouble

Yeah but no one cares when this exact thing happened to P platers with vehicle restrictions or motorcycle riders, where was everyone standing up for their right to choose?

Bit different restricting young and inexperienced drivers and riders compared to mature folks who already know how to drive

Most of the DCOA compilations aren't people with P plates up so I'd hazard guess there's not too many 'mature folks' who know how to drive given fully licenced drivers feature in 90% of the drama

I love how everyone supports something, until it effects them then all of a sudden there's a problem.

There was talkback radio, suggesting folk need a tow a caravan addendum to your license. I don't mind something like that but this guy killed a pedestrian in a Lambo, you can't legislate that

MrEL · 02-12-2022, 06:35 PM

Can loose control and kill someone at 100km in a 60 zone in a Hybrid Camry just as easily as doing 100 in a 60 zone in a Lambo..........

let to go kids

Cos if it happens - all teslas will need the special licences which will upset the wokies

UTXR8 · 02-12-2022, 09:08 PM

maybe they should concentrate on getting SA drivers to learn to even do basic motorist stuff...like merging, blocking the overtaking lane, indicating, giving way, not indicating right, whilst going straight through a roundabout, not stopping at the entrance of a roundabout where the nearest car is 100 metres away....easily the ****test drivers i have ever seen....i have lived in 6 states, and was a courier in both sydney for ansett, and melbourne for mayne nickless....the SA motorist is basically a brain dead hazard to everyone else...

And how would the percentage of under 21 year old involved in crashes compared to the over 21s

I buy damaged cars from a few Australia wide auctions, If I was going by which state had the most write offs each week, Victoria would win hands down 10 to 1 to other states.

Just checked Pickles just now and VIC is 1010 cars, to the next closest NSW with 691, for such a small state their driving must be atrocious

May also be due to flood damage.

I thought of that, I have been buying from auction sites for the last 20 years, do they flood every week in VIC?, Just seems that every auction site I use has way more VIC cars than any other state, plus the main auction site I use have a dedicated flood and hail auctions that are not included with the general, damaged or prestige car auctions.

You might be right with Pickles and Manheim though?

This is the Pickles site as of today

ACT 76
NSW 678
NT 61
QLD 467
SA 449
TAS 88
VIC 1010
WA 486

So because nobody in the courts was willing to throw the book at this guy, they're throwing it at everyone else via more nanny state laws.

I haven’t seen clear, first party wording re the “traction control” type proposals.

Is the guy with the Lambo Vladimir Putin's brother ?

Just goes to show though if you have plenty of money you can pretty much get away with anything, I know if that was me and I had turned off all drivers aids in my crap box, I would be getting the full sentence with my crap lawyer.

I think that is it. Money buys you good lawyers. If it were you or me, we'd be done.
