1. Speed limits raised 20% after 10pm.
2. Its okay to drive drunk, so long as you are wearing a helmet, have your hazard lights on, keep to the left and dont exceed 20kph.
3. You need to attend a short course before you are allowed to drive a big lumbering 4wd death machine.
4. A HP or engine size limit for learners/restricted drivers... Its crazy to think that you could legally learn how to drive in an 800hp RWD weapon that weighs 450kgs.
5. Revised license tests. Anyone can do a three point turn... It takes a GOOD driver to do a 3 point turn while eating a eating a burger and not spilling the drink you are holding in the other hand.
6. Airbags with a secondary function... If the crash was your fault, a boxing glove comes out and punches you in the face, instead of inflating an airbag.
People get too cocky if they think they will be safe in a crash.
7. If you get caught keying somones car.... You get your hands cut off and replaced with polishing pads.
Since no one except a car groomer would ever employ someone who had polishing pads for hands, You would have no choice but to spend the rest of your days buffing cars. Which in my opinion is a rather fitting punishment.
8. If three cars are travelling side by side on the motorway at 85KPH, and you are stuck behind them.... you are within your legal rights to SHOOT TO KILL.
9. Any car with more than 250hp is not allowed fluffy toys on the rear parcel tray.... or anywhere in/on the car for that matter.
10. Different people have different tolerances to alcohol. If you get DIC'ed but you think you can drive safely, you can sit a test to gauge if your reactions are good enough to continue driving.
The officer aims his/her tazer at you, and fires after a countdown from 3.
(Whether he/she fires on "3,2,1,FIRE!" or "3..2...FIRE!" Is at the officers discretion, and he/she doesnt have to tell you which.)
If your reactions are good enough to avoid the darts that fire out, you obviously have good enough reactions to drive the rest of the way home.
Getting severly shocked by the tazer is the punishment for being too drunk to drive, and wasting police time by trying to act sober.
you would only ever attempt this test if you were SURE that you were sober enough, or if you were too drunk to know any better.
Either way, it would be highly amusing, it would raise police morale considerably, free up the courts that are choked with DIC cases, and be more of a deterrent to drink driving than losing your license for a few months.
