why oh why oh why talk to them at all
nobody on here has the skills or ability to do it successfully, and it won't be a 10 minute interview that they air btw, lucky to be one minute of him actually talking and interspersed with video of cars and the presenter
and pls don't anyone waste the ink or time writing to them about it, it's totally pointless.
Ok MR politically correct...

Don't tar us all with the same "dumb ass" brush
politicians sometimes get into trouble on these shows, it's not about intelligence it's skill and i repeat nobody on here could do it successfully

I'm simply referring to him and his cars being targetted as a result of the story: hence my statement

You would not know! that is a silly thing to say considering you know bugger all about the people using this forum and their skills.
but from what you have just said maybe you should work for ACA making bold
and possible incorrect statements without knowing all the facts.

When the age group they are trying to shock are generally risk takers and will try it anyway.
And maybe why they feel the need to continually toughen laws on P platers and make it hard for the generally law abiding one.
Don't know what others think but i think they are going about it the wrong way, they are just taring all car enthusiasts with the same brush. but what is done is done if he had tried that on they wouldn't have put it to air anyway.
I agree with you there, I think p plates need education to understand what is happening. Half of tthe p platers just whing about not being able to drive turbo car etc. But half of them dont know why?. If they understood how much damage they are actualy doing by speeding, racing each other, burnouts etc. I know they where not p platers but those three guys that got caught racing and hit a elderly couple out west. What did that elderly couple do wrong? nothing there family is suffering becuase a bunch of bogans dont realise what could happen when speeding. If p platers could get some education to realise how dangoures some of that **** really is I think the situation a lot better and I am not having a stab at the guy being saying what he supposedly said on aca becuase if it wassent him they would of got some other guy and got him to say what they wanted him to say and edited it to get peoples attention not show the truth.

i never understood the reasoning behind this..
25-30 non p platers year olds crash and kill an elderly couple in st mary's...
so lets toughen p plater laws.
and this whole "crush the car" thing.. that'l just give people a reason to fix up the body and throw in a better engine
also.. this "no more than 1 passenger after 11" thing just makes sure that after 11.. there are 4832904382094832094832084092 p platers on the road.. with 2 people in them.. making them light n ready to race.
i dno who sets these laws but they've been hit the the lack of logic stick
new laws: Fail

its always the passenger right.. i think the person behind the wheel should have the balls to do what he likes, if he/she wants to give it a boot then they will.. if some1 in the passenger seat is saying do it and they dont want to.. then they can easily say.. ahhh.. NO.
i think driving crazy on the street in a powerful car is suicidal thse days.. sydney roads are so shi/t anythign can throw the car off course.. so i say hammar the people doing the wrong thing but! dont be picking on modified cars if theyre obeying the road rules.. they shouldnt have the right to just pull you over just because you are driving a modified car on the street, as long as your doing the right thing, you should be allowed to enjoy your pride and joy
yes i know but how many people my age 17-20 have a mind of there own there are things like peer pressure personaly i dont react to peer pressure but there are others who do and with your last paragraph i 100% agree with, but my tafe teacher was telling me her sister is a police officer and every now and then with things like long weekends they actualy have to pull over x amount of people

Thats true man. i get pulled over for doing nothing wrong.. a random breath test turns into a car inspection.. i once had 3 officers comb my car high and low to look for a defection..
That wasnt called for seeing as i did nothing wrong.. but im appearance and my VL i guess is doing something wrong is there eyes

one day i was coming home from a funeral in my vl with my father, uncle, aunty in the car and i got this arsehole who pulled me out of the car, yelled!! full on abused me for NO REASON!! infront of my father!! i loved it, it showed him exactly what they do!! and i was doing absolutely nothing wrong!! his excuse, " were you aware that you didnt indicate turning into sutherland station".. i was like.. ahh.. you were following me for 5 minutes before that, im pretty sure i was indicating mate, then my father got out of the car and he abused my father saying, U, HEY U get back in that car, and then i was like.. hey, thats my father and we are just coming home from a funeral and he says.. ARE YOU AWARE THAT YOU DIDNT INDICATE TURNING INTO SUTHERLAND STATION.. and i said.. im sorry officier i wasnt aware that i didnt indicate turning into sutherland station, officer then say.. right, as long as you know.. now you can leave and then walked away.
now tell me.. i had a p plate on my car.. i had things like this happen to me once a fortnight when i was on my p's.. since ive been off them, ive been pulled over maybe 5 times.. as opposed to 30 times in 1 year for no reason.. every single time with the exception of that time i got booked for either, defective tyres (which were ****ing fine) or p plates not displayed properly!! how is the number plate not properly.. ****ers!!
tell me now.. is that hasseling a p plater or what!
and then they ask for respect! come on! get real
funniest thing happened to me a few weeks ago a high way patrol pulled me over in my vl told me he was going to defect me because it was to low then i told him mate u cant defect me for being to low until u pull that lil stick u have in your boot which is 100mm of clearance and if that cant roll under the car then u can...!! he turned bright red told me to shut my lil smart ass mouth up and rolled it under the car and it cleared haha he drove off in a hurry....
dam thats messed up..
my story would have to be the time @ horsly drive maccas.. my friends decided to play a joke.. and turn my music up real loud (i have a sub amplified 6x9's 6 inchs etc) i turned on the car and the music blasted for a second.. a cop walks up to me..
"what the f*ck is you problem"
"you got 5 seconds to tell me what you did wrong or im arresting you"
im sitting there like wtf?
i said my system
he swore at me for abother 5 minutes..(c*nt, d*ckhead etc)
he calmd down.. and let me off.
made me late for eastern creek too! =[
some of these stories are thuggin harsh i have never had anything to bad happen to me and im still on p's in my little gemini and i hope nothing bad ever does happen to me

i agree, think about it, you would be trying to defend hoon behaviour no matter what angle you tried, they have the power of editing etc. they will just twist it around... we have seen it all before, they use the same clips of guys doing burnouts in crowded streets and those morons singing old mc donalds farm to cops that pulled them over - its a futile effort
