Not to say this is causing these types of incidents

Spot on, this is the area of greatest influence over kids. Yes the government road safety has responsibilities, so do the police and the schools. The first responsibility rests on the shoulders of the parents to educate their child. If they can not handle that responsibility and accept it, they should not breed.

Sounds hard yes, but I see so many examples of parents failing their children and the community every day, it gets frustrating sometimes. You normally can spot the parents guilty of this, they are the ones that blame the community, government, police and schools whilst claiming how their child was "such a good boy" after crashing his car at 160 km/h, bashing and killing someone or being resuscitated after a drug overdose.
