Hi everyone,

There's a documentary on tonight (Monday) about road safety and attitudes to dangerous driving, etc. It's called Drive and it's on ABC1 at 9:30 PM.

I seen this advertised, it will be interesting to see how they portray it, considering it's about young males ?.

I forgot the start of it, but then didn't watch all of it. There were some pretty obvious examples of why we will never reach a zero road toll. Just hell bent on self destruction. Unfortunately, they take even more people with them too.

From what I could gather from the preview, it was about young male's and their lack of respect for the road and other road user's, invincible they think they are.

Unfortunately there are people like that out there on the roads.
Not licensed, stolen car, drugged up.
Just got to hope they dont hit you or a family member.
