| 591666 | 2007-09-24 08:54:00 | All that really is needed is zero tolerance on alcohol and driving. Screw all those guys who rekon 'they have only had a couple', zero tolerance. No excuses just take licenses straight away. Impound the cars. Sick of all the pussy footing, i think everyone forgets driving is a priviledge(sp?) not a rite. As for the age, I think 16/17 is a reasonable age to start. And what about speeding? Take the car away? If I was 18 and my parents allowed me to use their car and I planted my boot? |

| 591667 | 2007-09-24 09:01:00 | speeding can be different from dangerous driving, like that time you did 120 along along the motorway at 2am... and you can lose your licence due to speeding anyway through demerit points, doing 50kph over the posted limit, or doing so wrecklessly (dangerous driving) i think rob was referring more to the drunk drivers out there |

| 591668 | 2007-09-24 09:21:00 | May I ask how you would enforce the law? So assuming I live in a rural area and get my full drivers licence at age 15. Then I move to an urban area at age 15 and three months. Should I now hand in my rural licence? OK tedheath, For whom will you vote for next general election and why? I will not be voting National as I have not heard about what they have in the way of policy at this point. Last time I voted for National was when Muldoon was about. I will definitely vote but I want to hear what the alternative is. Then we have MMP which is the only reason we currently have a government. This because parties got together. Go vote anyway. Better to do so than not. National |

The drivers he was referring to are the ones who do the drinking equivalent of doing 120 on the motorway at 2am. |

| 591670 | 2007-09-24 11:20:00 | well, i'll drive/ride after one beer..... but no more without a BIG gap between drinking and driving (riding is dangerous enough as it is) | motorbyclist (188) | ||
| 591671 | 2007-09-24 12:43:00 | I was kind of hinting at the fact most crap driving in general are alcohol related, normally when pissed people dont realise they are speeding/driving on the wrong side/falling off to sleep etc . An incentive to behave if you will . If you get caught driving mummy's car, then tough luck, you have to pay your mum I guess . Speeding is a toughy, where do you draw the line at 'a coupla k's over' or do you go zero tolerance? If there was zero tolerance, I bet it would end alot of traffic congestion problems . . . |

| 591673 | 2007-09-25 10:57:00 | If there was zero tolerance on alcohol and speeding, cars impounded and all, here in hamilton we would have very little traffic left... | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
