Cull the crop

[Zookey]

Way back in the dark ages one could not afford a car, so old British bikes were our transport.Today just out of nappies the boy and girl racers are driving courtesy of their daddies wallets.Then the young mummies in their 4x4s,who don't know where the front wheels are at,are causing mayhem.Theres an answer.Every one under 20 has one option that of riding a scooter then a motorcycle.It would cull the idiots straight off,and the survivors would make better motorists, period. Hear endith the sermon according to the "DON" but :whocares:

[MIXONE]

Should be compulsory along with army training.,:2thumbsup

...and intelligence tests every 5 years. Fail one and we'll use your body as fertiliser.

How do you know you'd pass?

[Pussy]

Too bloody easy to get a licence. I reckon EVERYBODY should have to do a defensive driving course every 5 or so years. A magistrate very kindly asked me to do one a few years ago, and I don't regret doing it

[Livvy]

How do you know you'd pass?

I don't. But I think the likelihood is that I would pass... I hope, anyway!

Do you think YOU'D pass? :bleh:

Too true. But a basic intelligence test would work as Mikkel suggested, don't ya think? ... No, seriously, I do agree. I want to get my defensive course done as soon as possible. Damn sensible thing.

Depends on what is defined as intelligent. It's not like I sit like :drool: this all day.

There are so many smart arsed comments that leap to mind but I'll refrain.

At least on KB. :innocent:

Now are you entirely sure about that?

I was being extremely sarcastic in posting that statement!

Do you know and care for anyone who you are a bit uncertain would pass such a test? I certainly do!

An elitist society might not be the most pleasant place to live after all.

The next question is - how far do we raise the bar? And when we've culled the flock a bit - when do we raise it the next notch?


I do however agree that the amount of evaluation of individual maturity, skill and cognitive powers in relation to motor vehicle licensing is grossly inadequate. :yes:

There would definitely be a limit, but no, I wouldn't want people to die for being stupid. But if there were a test for intelligence which then proved if you were worthy or not of being legally able to drive a car, that's different. Any fool can make a car or bike do what they want.

[MIXONE]

It's real easy.We just keep raising the bar until I'm the only one left.:laugh:

I disagree! Cthulhu for president! (http://www.cthulhu.org/) -Why vote for the lesser of two evils? :devil2:

Banksie who? :shifty:

[Boob Johnson]

Now that ive read all the posts here, what about when the worlds population is 9 Billion+ & growing exponentially in the not too distant future ie in our lifetime possibly. What will the "culling" policies be then? Because SOMETHING has to happen, we can't just keep multiplying at this rate. Who will you agree to "let go"?:confused:

[Boob Johnson]

Banksie who? :shifty:
Baaa ha ha, I don't live in Auckland so you can't "jaffa" bash me sunshine :girlfight: :laugh:

i think the idiots on the road make it more exciting, I try to do my bit for others by doing at least one insanely stupid thing on the road per day, and I usually double that due to a genuine lack of intelligence.

I still have no idea about what Banksie you're talking about...

I assume it's not my favorite author Iain Banks you're referring to.

lucky kids... my dad won't buy anything for me! i guess it's good because it's taught me the value of a dollar over the years.. however... it would still be good if he would take my deal to not have birthday and xmas presents for the next 2 years in exchange for half the money i need to buy a bike...
