“Let's have more Police Patrols, Red Light Cameras, Speed Cameras, Laser Guns and anything else that will help to catch these repeat offenders and hoepfully put them off the roads for once and all.”
Yeah so every poor motorist who happens to slip 3-5km/h over the limit for a matter of seconds will end up getting booked and lose demerit points.
Or even better on example of the “Bad guy” that you say this type of law will stop
I worked with a Guy who has a 330KW Corvette, lit it up round a corner at 1am on a quite road, Cop just happen to be at the lights down the road and went to pull him over, Where once upon a time this offence would have incurred 3 points and a fine or something, and most times would have sent the chap home or had him slow down cause he's thinking bugger if I get done agene I will loose my license might try and be a good boy.
Now under the Hoon laws this guy now stands to loose his car, License and job for something that endangered no one but himself. (Not defending what he did or the rights or wrongs of it hear) so he thinks F**k it, they what me they can cache me> 330KW of 5.7 litre Chev powered corvette hit the GO pedal and bang you are at 240Km/h and gown with the money leaving the Cop’s thinking WTF was that, wile now endangering how many lives.
Sorry to Say Tougher laws are not the answer they have been trying this approach and WOW it isn’t doing Jack and its getting worse that what it was, wonder why.
