Stupid little men and their big cars
Posted by Ben on | June 30, 2007
Once again we hear of the Australian male’s infinite capacity for stupidity when a teen driver got caught driving at 213kmh along the Great Alpine Road. I know that road well. It’s a popular tourist route so a police officer, radar in hand is always waiting, ready to catch stupid people. And then when they do get caught they probably feel hard done by.
I think that stupid people should spend some time with my dad. Back in the day my dad drove a tow truck and would attend car accidents. He saw everything from bruised egos to bodies torn to bits. One night he had to scrape brains off the road with a shovel. Another night he found a hand and promptly told the ambo’s. The nice man in the hospital sowed the owner back onto the hand. No damage done eh?
So knowing first hand (nice pun that!) the consequences of unsafe driving I am getting bored of seeing drivers who think they own the roads and that their wants are more important than mine.
- Why do cars have the capacity to go as fast as they do? It’s completely unnecessary.
- Why are cars allowed to be advertised as racing machines? If you want to go fast and get your thrills buy a bicycle and generate the pace yourself. You might even lose that gut and get an arse half as good as mine.
- Why has it become acceptable to screech the tyres, honk your horn and yell at anyone who gets in “your” way? Its stupid and people who do it look stupid.
I use to think it was sad when people died from their own dangerous driving. Now I don’t care, not even a little bit. If you are stupid enough to drive like Little Man was on the Great Alpine Road and you lose control and die horribly… suck shit! No damage done eh?
I pity your family and friends who you leave behind but you should not have been so selfish in the first place.
This ad sums up my feelings nicely.

There are a few errors in that report. It refers to “An 18-year-old man”: no, that is not the action of a man, it’s the action of an dickhead who lacks the maturity to hold a drivers license.
It also says “Senior Constable Hewitt said he was concerned by how dangerous it was for young drivers to be travelling at such speeds.” Sorry? We should only be concerned in young drivers drive at “such speeds”, that is more than twice the speed limit? WTF?!?
When they get caught, tools like this don’t just feel hard done by: they turn into blubbering little cry-babies–how appropriate.
Agree with you on that ad too.

That is a good article Treadly. The numbers are a bit sad.
Haha! Look at him cry like a baby after the nasty officer took the car! I bet his dad was real angry when got home.
