Wall calls for less burnouts in Tuggers

One small problem there are quite simply not enough police on the roads to increase the odds of catching them in the act.

It’s a problem with statistics based policing. More Police is bad for the stats, and even worse if they log more offences.

Are burnouts really as dangerous as they make out? Surely an almost stationary car just spinning it’s wheels isn’t as bad as say, 150km/h on the Parkway, or the constant slurry of violence in Civic on a Friday night. Racing is fair enough as it endangers others on the road, but in my opinion just a burnout isn’t too bad.

They aren’t that dangerous at all, but they are somewhat antisocial.

When the burnouts are being done around a busy roundabout then they are very dangerous. There are several roundabouts in Wanniassa that are used for burnout purposes, and I have almost had accidents on numerous occasions. I wish the police would do more about it because it is reckless and irresponsible.

A speed camera will fix that.

That parting shot was a shameless attempt to stir up north/south tensions, Barcham (click, click, click). Anyway, demography will eventually deal with this – before we know it, the bigger issue in Tuggeranong and, indeed, elsewhere in Canberra, will be the battalions of cranky, batty, “get out of my way” oldies whizzing around the malls and streets in their rather large, surprisingly quick and (so far as I know) unregulated battery powered scooters – click, click, click…….

Andrew Wall has questioned whether the gummint has any clear strategies to stop dangerous driving?? FFS they couldn’t even organise a r*** in a brothel let alone tackle dangerous driving!

It’s true, the Labor government couldn’t organise a r*** in a brothel… Well, except for that one guy who did…
