SA - SUNDAY MAIL

Yet another we are all hoon articles pumped out proprtion by the media and in relation to SA hoons.

In general they rave about people driving dangerous on our roads and yes there are plenty of stupid idiots who fall into this catagory and deserve thier backside kicked.

Further to this it is they say that mediums like U Tube have caused this behaviour and actions on the road to become popular and yes to a degree this would be true amongst those few idiots as above.

But for the rest of us and id say 95% who are also branded with the Hoon Tag when will the government give us a legal place to run and test our cars and when will the government understand that thier stupid rules add to the current bout of antics on our roads.

For example around 12 months ago Mr Fooley, announced a new rule that if you do something stupid and run from the boys in blue we will take away the car, I said at the time great now there is no incentive for people to stop and they will run causing more fatalities etc, and yes high speed chases according to our clever government are up by around 75% and you didnt need to be a brain surgeon to it happening.

With this as one example of the attempts to squash so called hoon behaviour and to have the gvernment continually push up penalities claiming that this will fix everything can they not see that the general jo blow public are now at point where they do not give a rats and where it is now and people are now openly challenging the law and in general flaunt all attempts to correct the problem are in some ways self imposed.

So why cant the goverment establish with thier $ a safe enverioment / s for drivers to clear thier system of that built up urge to drive on the wild side, then instead of blaming electronic medium for its current delima use this medium as a weapon to promote a positive and compete with a war on advertising correct ways for these people to enjoy themselves, Lets say a group on you tube have a ball at the track in a legal way etc etc, but then i again i suppose they only use advertising medium to fill us with all sorts of wonderful and exiting reasons we shold vote for them.
