| 580131 | 2007-08-13 05:12:00 | To compare: How many armed forces vs How many drivers on the road at that time. I would say that there were a lot more young males of driving age in NZ in the late 60's and early 70's than there were Kiwi soldiers fighting in Nam. |

You call to ban under 25s from driving, why not Maori as well?I see you took only the first point and are trying to make an issue of it... lets look at all 3 Young male road fatality rates peaked during the 1970's - with Māori rates higher than non-Māori. Over the past two decades young Māori and non-Māori road death rates have followed a similar pattern. Increase in the Māori rate since 1994 could reflect changes in recording of ethnicity rather than actual change.And yes, raise the limit to 18, make defensive driving courses compulsory, and limit learners and restricteds to non-modified cars up to 1600cc |

| 580136 | 2007-08-13 06:00:00 | I was merely using it as an example of accident statistics. Why not ban all male drivers seeing as they have more accidents? | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 580137 | 2007-08-13 06:27:00 | I was merely using it as an example of accident statistics. Why not ban all male drivers seeing as they have more accidents? Baning is not the answer, raising the age and better driver education is. |

| 580138 | 2007-08-13 06:38:00 | Yes, at least 18 if not 20. | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 580139 | 2007-08-13 06:47:00 | Baning is not the answer, raising the age and better driver education is. If you raise the age, you're effectively "baning" under 25s from driving. |
