How many Kids have to DIE before the Government pulls their finger out????

[Sorted]

Well done the Australian Governement - close your eyes and wait for the next accident to kill more kids on our roads - do NOTHING about it except blame HOONS by adding harsher penalties to those who are licenced.
I recall some one in the government once saying if the new laws save one life then it is all worth it.

So why no DRIVER EDUCATION??????

Apparently there is a need to talk to young people about the dangers of driving, really - NO **** !!!!!!!!

In reality what will happen, speed limits will be reduced, more speed camera's, harsher penalties for any offence etc etc

How does that help or deter the kids who don't even have driver's licences???

I am personally very disappointed with our Government - our kids are dying on our streets and they are doing nothing anout it.

A 16-year-old girl was driving a stolen car crammed with passengers as young as 12 went it crashed into a brick wall in Melbourne, killing three people and injuring three others.

Police say the car appears to have been speeding when it veered off the road in Coolaroo just after midnight (AEDT).

The driver, a 16-year-old girl from Sunbury, a 12-year-old boy from Preston and a girl, 14, from Pascoe Vale, died at the scene.

A 16-year-old Broadmeadows boy was taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

A boy, 15, from Dallas, and a 14-year-old Lalor boy were taken to the Royal Children's Hospital in a stable condition.

Police said the maroon Toyota sedan was believed to be stolen from a Coolaroo address on Wednesday night.

Neighbour Sevda said the crash happened in front of her Pascoe Vale Road house and she rushed out to help.

"When we got there, there was one boy standing around, walking around ... one boy outside the car," she told Fairfax Radio.

Sevda said the car was so mangled it had almost become one piece.
"The back seat was now joined to the front seat," she said.

She said she had lived on Pascoe Vale Road about eight months and in that time had not known it to be a high-speed road.

Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Andrew Crisp said police were trying to establish what caused the accident.

"As to why that driver lost control, given the age of the person it could be just general inexperience travelling at speed," he told reporters.

"Who knows what was going on in the vehicle at that time, there could have been people moving around, she could have been knocked, I just don't know, it's all conjecture at this stage."

Mr Crisp said police were always shocked by such accidents.
"As police officers, whether the most junior attending these scenes or the most senior ... we take these personally, and we shake our heads when we see these sorts of situations.

"We know that some young people engage in risk-taking behaviour, it's about what we can all do as a community as family, as friends, to try and protect, discourage and support young people that might engage in this sort of activity."

Premier Ted Baillieu said the tragedy highlighted the need to talk to young people about the dangers of driving.

"As a father you just despair at moments like this and you just feel for parents," he told ABC radio.

"Any parent who's got kids at that age would be choking, I think, about this news this morning."
