However typically the response is having a crack at modified cars, age etc - agree that these are contributing factors, but need to look at the whole picture starting with education, attitude etc

mmm.. thats no good. I don't know what should be done bout these restrictions. I'd like to promote banning high-powered cars to idiots, but because i'm a P-plater at the moment, it'll affect me to. Perhaps character analysis should be looked into when buying an sti or etc... It'd be a pain in the arse but it might stop a few idiots wrecking it for the rest of us. lol just my 2 cents. :)

age has nothing to do with it, its just driver mentality and bad luck at the end of the day.

Whats even worse is that its usually the passenger that dies and the driver lives! How bad would you feel......?

If this had been a dunnydore or a falcodore it would have been unrecognizable but it's a Subaru saving lives and displaying the reason for it's 5 Star Crash Rating.

Sadly, one person still died though. :( :( :( :(
