Police must take some blame, says dead boy's sister

After two or three serious offences the vehicles can already be confiscated by the crown, sold & proceeds go to the crown. Note I said 'vehicle' as that can include motorcycles, and we don't want that do we.

A guy came into work today with a solution for boy racers,as it stands,you run may get away.His suggestion was if you are caught speeding even say 150km,you get fined,maybe loose license,but if you run and GET caught you loose the car plus hefty disqualification,even if not caught but rego taken,car taken etc,no if buts or maybes,even if it's dads car.

His opinion was kids know they'll be fined at high speeds but at least if they stop will still have a car,afterall it's the car which they show off in,therefore their pride and joy.Use it wisely or loose it,the choice is theirs.

Hmmm... anti Police establishment?

No - the header of the homepage says the site is not anti Police / establishment. And the proof is that site creators have worked closely with Police for mutual benefits. Why so suspicious... was it the word "watch".
We are all being watched now - Police inclusive. The site does not strike me as anti Police at all - rather it's pro damage control.

IMO the attention and Policing given to BR's far outweighs their significance in the toll. The problem group right now is 20-40 yr olds according to LTNZs toll statistics - its the olders upping our toll. BRs (if ya mean teens) are just the sacificil lambs so bad behaviour of others can stay under the radar.

All this bollocks about confiscating cars and fines etc. Kiwi's are too soft on crims. As I've said before, put the little cunts in jail for a very long time. And none of the juvie bull$hit either, put them in the big hoose. As I've also said before, a good shag up the arse (or the threat of one) by their husband would dramatically reduce stupid driving.

And outsource the jails to Thailand or Samoa etc.

Statistics can tell you what ever the hell you want to hear, Damm I mean 62% of al statistics are made up anyway.

Restricting the subject drivers to cars that don't have the onions to outrun anything would make engine governors unneccessary. A bit like the <250cc and 70kmh limitation learner bikers have to accept as The Law. But I do take your point.

How about different coloured number plates, which will at a glance show the driver's learner / disqualified / governed status. It would still be a huge workload for the cops to randomly pull drivers over to confirm the driver and the plate match statuses... stati... are the same. (Hitcher, help me!)

All you need is some kind of sticker that denotes that the car has been 'governed' As for swapping cars yes that could be done but if a ''governed' driver is caught operating an ungoverned vehicle I could think of some draconian penalties like the automatic impoundment of said vehicle. I don't think to many people would be very keen on lending their cars if they thought they were goning to lose them for a week or two or even sold as a ppenalty for allowing the car to be used by a 'governed driver.'

Yep, that, the voices in my head and my "P" making me paranoid...
