This has got to be an utter crock of ********. Instead of spending all this money on advertising and marketing the campaign it'd be much more useful in funding driver training program for Learners or new P platers to learn how to properly control a car responsibly.

It starts with, 'I promise I won't steal cookies from Mummy's cookie jar'
Then it's, 'I promise I will do my homework as soon as I get it' Now it's, 'I promise I'll drive safer.' Hmm...I see a pattern....

Stupid is as stupid does, and the RTA is by far the stupidest (sic).
RTA = Road Tax Authority, full of bureaucrats that sit on their backsides and do nothing. Sort of like the hospitals with 9 bureaucrats to manage each bed. No wonder there's no funding, no wonder they don't fix roads, no wonder we're all paying more in tax. I thought the idea was to discourage behaviours such as using a phone in the car etc.

What a fantastic brainwave, sure road rules is a big part of driving on the road....but does it teach them how to drive? Or have the right attitude and behaviour both before and during they are at the wheel?
Who are these peanuts! |

This new idea isnt the least bit surprising...another rubbish idea which will not help...
When will the rta/gov stop trying to find cheap fixes and start putting money where it needs to be. |

I promise to drive at 80km/h in the right hand lane on a 3 lane freeway.
Sounds like every new P plater I see.
