Excess speed

The Advertiser: PRISON TERMS FOR SPEEDING-Police chief wants new laws :

"Mr Hyde said in many cases, Mandrake targets were repeat juvenile offenders who deliberately engaged police in high-speed pursuits using stolen cars while under the influence of drugs. Mr Hyde predicted that unless attitudes changed quickly it was 'only a matter time' before crashes resulted in death or injury."

Well, Sunday night I didn't sleep because there was a loud motor bike which seemed to go on the same circuit rpeatedly about 10 times. A motor bike which had a very peculiar and loud engine note. Now, as I blog there is somone roaring up and about with a rather noisy muffler. Late at night they will probably not injure people. Now they might. It's loud, repetitious and annoying. Is it worth a gaol sentence? No, probably not. So what can we do about it? Not sure. The artice says they are repeat juvenile offenders. Banning them from cars is not the answer because they will drive a car and expect to get away with it. Locking them up will probably just make them worse and then they'll be harder to deal with. They'll get used to the system. We need to consult with clinical psychologists because it's about breaking anti social and destructive behaviour but it's also about an adrenalin rush. Shipping them off somewhere. This is working with the South Pacific nations would be helpful because some of their tribal cultural practices might help us. Maybe our aboriginal tribal elders can help because, in my experience, they have a good understanding of extreme behaviour. I accept the frustration. It is frustrating when kids do not take any notice and do not care. These juveniles need to be reeled in and held on a tight leash, but who will work with them? And do we want a generation of case hardened kids?
