[P]lease stop this

Its horrible, its sickening when kids die young, especially when it’s a car crash. Speed… night driving… poor visibility… P plates…

What else can be done to sink the message in?

The image seems to be replayed over and over again, yet we can do something about it. Government legislation is being sounded out to change the driving age laws again, restrict and curfew p plate drivers but this is not the answer.

Being a green [P] plate driver myself, if the laws were to change, [p] plates, particularly green one’s would simply be removed by drivers and then provisional licence holders will be driving illegally.

Raising the age will also not assist. Single handidly it comes down to us as the drivers to fix it. There have been enough shock campaigns telling us to slow down.

The horrific images of the grieving students in Byron Bay last night is enough to tell you to slow down.

Parents, teachers, Government’s must ensure we continue to slam the message in, educate. It is reality. We cannot replace a person’s life – it is to precious.

We need to stand up together and think about it ourselves before its to late.
