Bref, y'a pas de solution ultime à tous nos moeurs. La seule solution serait qu'il n'y ait plus d'automobilistes.
Je ne suis pas d'accord. Je vote pour ce que la Finlande fait. Des courts de conduite et des examens beaucoup plus poussé pour l'obtention du permis de conduire. Moi-même depuis j'ai fait mon premier stage de track n'racing je conduis différemment.
Stop using TVA tactics. One thing I fail to see is a comparison on km traveled vs. death/injuries. As a young adult you usually do long road trips and drive for the sake of driving. Exposure to risk increases the chance of something happening. So comparing an 18 year old that logs at least 2000km/month vs a 70 year old that drives 5 km to the grocery store and back changes the dynamic immensely.

TVA, where are you to preach the folies and dangers of old people on our roads.
You sir have a point. These stats are very general and we should look at it with some consideration.
For Example :
My dad 65+ category drives less than 8,000km per year and always stays in within his neighbourhood.
I 24-34 category drive 40,000+km per year all around province.
So therefore every 5years my dad drives, his risk factor is less (because of the area he drives) than 1 year of driving for me.
so technically speaking I could crash 4times my car just this year and still be considered a better statistic % than my dad who would have 1 crash.
I'd be very curious to see just what would the % of accident per ages per 10,000km be. I'm sure it would change the odds.
I never said I don't speed from time to time(even today) but I can guarantee that my driving habits are about 1000x safer now then they were when I was 20. I also never said I didn't race back in the day. But that was ten years ago and I'm happy someone close to be didn't have to die so I could be taught a lesson.
It's exactly the same for me... I can't stand these little punk and kids who push their shitty cars beyond their limit. As I sais earlier, my age changed my habit and my knowledge of real racing on tracks has changed it even more.
However there is dangerous driver in pretty much all ages category and base on the mileage done I'd be incline to say its almost even, problem is that most accident involving death is indeed related to youngster. I just hate the propaganda surrounding the actual speed on highways.
It's like the .08 alcohol thing. They wanted to reduced it... but what for. When some tragedy is related to drunk driving, the guy was drunk and waaaaay beyond the legal limit. Therefore if he would have been .08 he would have been fine, reducing it wouldn't change anything.
As for speed, how many accident on highways wouldn't have happen if the driver would have been doing 100 instead of wtv speed he was doing. Let's face the truth here, if (and I do insist on the IF) we were all good drivers and left the left lane free unless we were passing someone and IF people would actually look in their mirrors, we could in all safety go 200k and over with NO danger what so ever. They do it in Europe and so should we in here.
Id vote for something like this;
On a 3Lane highway
100-120 on right lane
120-140 on middle lane
140-200 on left lane.
Doing this Id believe less than 10% would be on the left lane and that everyone would safely be and safely get to their destination.
