I do agree that there is a lot of legislative bubble wrapping going on, but not necessarily in this case of driving.

Dave... surely you're pulling my chain.
Roll-cages? Helmets? and clearly you believe most drivers (anyone but you?) are idiots.
I'm sorry mate I didn't want to take the piss, but
Can I assume in Plato-Dave's driving republic, we all drive at 30km/hr, with lights on during the day, wearing full harness seat-belts, full face helmets, fire-retardant underwear and gloves roll-cages.
After all, with driving you can never have enough regulation.
In the usual Sydney peak hour (three hour really) crush, I find most drivers safely get on with it..... my driving day is only very occasionally punctuated by a drongo.. with whom I have no problem, as Marcus said, so long as they are eventually taken care of by the Police, trauma units or Darwinian theory.
Anyway I expect we'll agree to disagree. Probably time to put this one to bed.
