Lets face it they are more likely to introduce a big fat TAX on under 21 year old drivers than to raise the age.
Taxing voters is the only thing this government understands.

Ah yeah quite a few do. And if they are not killed in the actual car, they are run over outside a party by one.. or fall into a river and drown, or get into a fight and get knifed, or...Originally Posted by Dave Lobster

Wouldn't:
Teens + Alcohol - (Supervision or sense of responsibility) = Death.
be more accurate? I got pissed in my youth shit loads of times. And I dare say a lot of people here did too. None of my friends died of anything to do with alcohol.. none of them did the drinking and driving thing.. etc.
I pretty convinced it's not anything to do with alcohol, more to do with teenage attitudes to life these days that is the problem.

Yes, and a change to the purchase age will be the needed silver bullet?Ah yeah quite a few do. And if they are not killed in the actual car, they are run over outside a party by one.. or fall into a river and drown, or get into a fight and get knifed, or...

I think not

so a total ban on alcohol in the under 21 age group only gave a decrease of 11%? Is that a good figure? still 89% of fatalities by my reckoning.
Its not the drinking thats killing them, its the drinking and driving.
We need to eliminate that, and not just in that age group.

Yeah, I suppose its barely worth worrying about unless it can hit double figures eh. (idiot)
Going by what ive learned from a friend lately, it would be worth it if it saved just one heartbreak.
Maybe you need to have a chat to that really nice guy Harry, That had his daughter mowed down in Christchurch, I rekon i could actually arrange that for you too.

Sooo.. if the age that people were allowed to buy booze was higher, that wouldn't have happened?
What nonsense. If youths want to buy booze, they will, whether it's legal or not.

Only because our Policing is piss weak.
Try doing something illegal in Singapore & see if you get away with it. (Yes, I have lived there)

Exactly.

Better yet, lets just outlaw it completely. It's worked for cannabis and other things Mummy doesn't want you to do. And, remember, Mummy always knows whats best for her children, who can't think on their own.

Increasing the drinking age to 21 may reduce accidents and deaths.
Increasing the driving age to 21 would have the same effect.
Banning motorcycles would be another very effective way of reducing accidents and death.
David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.

I reckon banning people over the age of 70 from driving would save more.

That's because NZ has become a crappy over-PC-and-everybody-has-got-rights namby-pamby country where they give you police but not the teeth or the autonomy...

Sure - but when the age was 21 you didn't have bunches of drunken gobby 16 to 20 year olds standing around/driving around doiing what they wanted like the world owed them a living.
The under 21s did drink, I know I did - but we did it a whole lot more discretely and ran for it if a cop car hove into sight.

Only because they'd tell your Mum & Dad. Now Mum & Dad get arrested or "cautioned" if they look at their kids wrong.
