tab Sucker Moderating Team 32,303 Member For: 20y 8m 13d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 06/06/12 10:00 AM Share Posted 06/06/12 10:00 AM Granted yeah you may need a drag strip close and handy, but that's still a cop out IMO.Kind of like me saying there is no rifle range open of a night time near me so I just go discharging my firearm in the street. Same sh*t, different stink.But just to clarify I do not have any faith in the journalistic skills of the tabloid current affairs shows...they disgust me so never watch them unless it's for a laugh or to be completely amazed at their ignorance. You are guaranteed to only ever get one side of the story, unless they are fighting amongst themselves of course and trying to pick each other apart. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then it may rain, cause face it most days anything could happen with the weather. Still I make it when I can. Hwys closer.Edit. They will have a replay. Normally is a few hours before its up online but this was filmed a fair few months ago. Scene is tarnished.

Drag strips cost millions.. That's more money then some of those kids are likely to contribute in tax in their lives.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing compared to the costs of fatalities yearly.Edit: where did you get that from Tab? They all have excuses, but that what kids will do. They all seemed ready to take responsibility too though. Eventually. Edited 06/06/12 10:09 AM by Henz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest crash costings for fatalities is approximately $6.7mil per fatal..But in saying that drag strips don't make people less stupid on the road.. Stupid people will be stupid whenever they feel like.. Unfortunately we can't make drivers smarter with education or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a disused car park or something and let them go nuts, if they make it out alive then good for them.At least that way there's no chance of some poor innocent motorist on his way home from work being slaughtered on the highway.

We remove the warning labels off everything. Take scaffolding off job sites. They will take care of themselves. Also government funded free VNs will speed it up.
