I'm more into alcohol-lock + suspension of drivers license in 1-5 years - or depending on the speedcrime. Not banning or putting strict rules on everyone from beginning. Trust me, most of those speed-idiots have been punished before with a fine or something align. Make that fine a suspension, and they'll learn a lesson. Because I couldn't imagine my life without my car at the moment :3 | ||

Such a terrible idea. as mentioned earlier in the thread.. something about japan having a speedlock system that relies on gps.. would cost abit i guess to make it world wide... but simpler ways such as.. a norwegian bought car... within the borders of norway (checked by gps) will have a speedlock, for starters perhaps just set a top speedlimit of 100km/h.. expand on it later as one map out the speedlimits of the different areas. special allowance for smaller areas (race tracks and such) can be made... emergency button type of thing that shuts down the speedlock, but makes some lights on the car flash (to discourage use while not needed)... stuff like that... private property is a bit more tricky to get effective, but still possible | ||

It's not that women are trying to overthrow men or something, she is legitimately trying to reduce the amounts of collisions in your country and for that you should be for it. If those restrictions were imposed upon men in Norway then I can guarantee you that the collision rate would plummet as those are the very people that cause the most collisions in the world. and if we forbid driving as a whole there will be 0 collisions in the whole world. what's your point? | ||

It'd be illegal to discriminate in such a fashion and the implementation of a law that makes it legal would require a change in the Norwegian constitution. So GG lawmakers, you got your headlines but the "threat" is entirely unsubstantiated. | ||

What's funny and notable about this though is that it's a supposedly top tier politician who's coming up with this proposition. XD | ||

Doing it for 18-22 or so, would be harder (cant use every car, parents etc), but only for male is quite stupid and almost impossible to do. Then again, this is from one of the worst new outlets in the country. Except that i am not yet convinced that the necessary technology even exists. | ||

But yeah, it'd retard the economy. If anything people should be blood tested for alcohol, and those with high consumption rates should be barred [these are the poepl emore like to be the morons who speed]. something like this. DOn't see why her being female makes it a laugh. | ||

Yes people under 25 generally suck at driving. Though I would rather say under 21 tbh. You are inexperienced no matter how good you think you are. And more of a danger to other drivers on the road. Hence your higher insurance rates. But to restrict them? No. If anybody needs to be taken off the road it's old fucks with dementia. Oh and stupid bitches with cell phones. | ||

In fact the craziest car I've ridden on was a girl who wanted to give a guy a "birthday treat". I was praying the entire trip, it was scary. She did that WHILE she was operating a vehicle? What the fuck? | ||

Also, two interesting facts; * On the subject of automated speed radar, they have it implemented in Finland. Recently, the police were calling for more authority to issue fines without going to court, because the speed radar-issued tickets are tying up effectively all prosecutors. * There was a traffic accident in 2004 where a truck driver lost control of his vehicle and couldn't correct because there was a speed lock. He hit a bus, resulting in 23 deaths and 14 injuries. | ||
