p platers panicking and putting other road users at risk
what is your point
what is your point
As I said, isent this the same scenario as the guy who stole the car. He steals a car, cops try and pull him over and he panics so he runs.p platers panicking and putting other road users at risk
what is your point
But as I said, can you only assume that they are stealing just a car?wait wait
if you had read the thread
you would realise that we support police chases in situations where the criminal will otherwise put the public in danger
ie
murders trying to escape
abductions
etc
but chasing for a stolen car is retarded
We should assume everyone driving a car has kidnapped hostages in the boot. The more carefully someone drives, the more likely it is they have something to hide and are trying to fly under the radar.we should definately assume that every person commiting a traffic offence is a serial killer then
When was the last time this happened and caused someone to kill four people?I see stupid P platers panic all the time and do stupid things that put other road users at risk, when a copper drives past them or they see an RBT.
yes well think about itwe should definately assume that every person commiting a traffic offence is a serial killer then
Peopel die on the roads everyday due to others terrible driving. People are just making a big deal about this becuase the police where involved, there were no suvivors and they need someone to blame.When was the last time this happened and caused someone to kill four people?
why are you trying to shift the focus of this discussion onto p platers :/Who said anything about serial killers?
I have seen P Platers do stupid things due to panic after seeing police. I drive on the F3 everyday. Try being behind a P plater in peak hour traffic and they see a copper ahead who has already pulled someone over and watch them slam their brakes on to the suprise of every car behind them.
No, they dont lead to a high speed chase, but I'm just making my point that people panic due to cops, so why not remove them from the roads altogether and see what good that does.
Good on you for being a responsible driver, but its definelty not the case for all P platers. But I'm not going to go into it.
You are an individual that seems to have common sense and a good sense of responsibility when driving. Its a shame there are not more P platers like you. But as I said, your an individual and we cant think that other P plate drivers are like this.i get nervous whenever i see an RBT or highway patrol car as i know:
- i am targetted because i am a p plater
- i have less points than other road users and harsher penalties so i have to be more careful
- i am a young male, cops love getting us for anything, they routinely pull apart our cars and search them and very harshly do a defect inspection.
it doesnt mean i somehow become the equivalent of a person evading police in a high speed pursuit :/
key words - peak hour trafficwhy are you trying to shift the focus of this discussion onto p platers :/
so what if they hit the brakes? if every other driver is
- paying attention
- keeping the recommended 3 second gap
then there should never be an accident caused by hitting the brakes :/
no people are making a big deal out of this becausePeopel die on the roads everyday due to others terrible driving. People are just making a big deal about this becuase the police where involved, there were no suvivors and they need someone to blame.
yeskey words - peak hour traffic
Have you ever seen a jam at peak hour where cars are 3 seconds apart?
I'm not shifting the discussion, I tried to make an example of a situation where panic is present, its not my fault that P platers panic
People don't die from the ~sight~ of a police car, comparing p-platers reactions to this, to a situation where the police pursued and caused a reaction resulting in the death of four people, is ridiculous, the situations are not at all comparable in impact.Peopel die on the roads everyday due to others terrible driving. People are just making a big deal about this becuase the police where involved, there were no suvivors and they need someone to blame.
