It is interesting that parliament having a fair share of lawyers sees that a new law is needed to stop something when invariably there are plenty of laws available at that point to deal with the problem.
However with that off my chest I support the effort to at least address the issue.
It is unfortunate that folk are given a licence in the first place that show the irresponsibility that requires penalties.
Driving cars should be seen as much the same as gun handling... the consequences are not far removed if the licence holder is irresponsible and lets ego or pressure of time have them thinking they are above the law and duty of care to other citizens...
However as observed it is one thing to implement laws it is another to ensure funding to make them effective.
More police and less waste on desalinators and misuse of funds on Government "advertizing" I suppose is an unreasonable suggestion.
