    Some (on here) would call that profiling. I call it good sense. If it is known that a particular area is full of old shitters then that is where the fuzz should hang out.

    They would be stupid if they didn't. How was that even newsworthy?

    Shouldn't you be out living the dream instead of hanging out with the deadwood* on the internet?

    Exactly - just as it would be very pointless and a waste of time to patrol areas where crime is not happening.

    More chance of caching bad guys and stopping crime if you spend time in areas where crime happens.

    Poor people don't have WoF/Rego, rich people are dangerous drivers.

    Nope.

    There are fuckwits, regardless of their socio-economic status.

    For a policeman, there are better odds in certain parts of town, however the fuckwit in the porsche is more likely to lose his licence on the spot.

    Next time you're down here, I'll take you for a coffee in Merivale - Brownlee country - and you can watch the Lexus, Mercedes and Audis bounce off each other....

    A driving test is about your ability to follow a set of instructions and rules for an hour or so and not scare the tester doing so. Remember the previous test regime was too easy hence the new system.

    Maybe just like the cops issuing 4km tolerance tickets, some people are being failed for picky things because perhaps their driving is intrinsically incompetent but doesn't fall into specific category...
    A lot of the wawa is probably the modern thing of people being unable to own their own mistakes.... and of course every persons kid is a great driver cause they taught them....

    At work our training and assessment regimes can be scrutinised by OSH going back up to two years if a serious workplace accident... expect licence testers to be under similar thing, imagine that pressure with the high likelihood of a new driver having a crash....
