‘Controversial’ proposal would see young NSW men banned from driving until they turn 21 | New South Wales

Either you ban everyone under 21 or you ban no-one.

This would severely cripple the educational/economic opportunities of 18-21 males. If passed, I hope it would lead to mass protests and boycotts.

<Demographic> should be banned from <Activity> due to <Statistic>

Totally not a slippery slope there that can be applied in any -ist manner /s

I don’t see it going anywhere. People make all sorts of proposals that mostly get ignored

No-Knowledge-8867 · 2022-09-10T09:53:55+00:00

I doubt the gender discrepancy in road accidents would look anywhere as bad if we measured it against hours driven. To do so though would go against their agenda

Did they really say that men's brain development is slower? Wasnt that the argument in the past to stop women from science related roles? So women bad sexist, men bad logical.... And they say world would be better if it was run by women. All things point to a worse...

What i was 19, i drove a 4 cylinder 1980 Volvo station wagon. I had been driving for 18 months clean. My girlfriend at the time was driving a 1989 Mustang 5.0. She had been driving 3 months and had been in 3 accidents.

My insurance- $125 a month for liability

Her insurance- $40 a month for full coverage

I am going to admit, despite being mildly discriminatory to men, while also being a man myself, this is just not right. And while I am not trying to be political as it would cause either one half, the other half, or everyone to hate me, I can't keep quiet about the fact that this is discrimination and a violation of civil rights. And I would also like to point out unfeasible, because there are many people between 18 and 21 living on their own with their own house and car, driving to work and just living their lives.

So we start teaching people a new skill right around the point when their brains stop developing. Gotcha.

Im 20 in NSW. Yikes

No come on!

I am from South Aus. Driving and cars has been my passion forever, just about to be old enough to drive on the road.

I already know the road rules and am confident that I could drive safer than half of the drivers older than 21 on the road. This proposal would be wrong on so many levels, but its support would come from those influenced by the media. We never stop hearing stories of teenagers dying in car crashed (some of them potential suicide), but the media's message is that they are too immature to drive.

So...punish males for male behavior. First in school, then in practical life.

Equality though

rbrockway · 2022-09-10T16:05:08+00:00

It's unlikely to proceed but it's notable that it's being discussed.

If the state of NSW did this you'd just see a lot of these young men leave for other states. It'd have to be national to be effective but most Australians have the option to live in New Zealand too. Imagine 10% of men 18-21 leaving NSW. It would be a crisis.

This would also result in young women doing a lot more driving as their boyfriends wouldn't be allowed to. I'm sure the women would love that.

Then when women start causing more accidents due to phone usage are they going to realise?

ijustdontcare74 · 2022-09-10T16:25:03+00:00

And women file for divorce 80% of the time, perhaps we should introduce a law banning women from filing? See how that works? Sexism seems only to be wrong when it’s against men.

Laytheblameonluck · 2022-09-10T21:26:42+00:00

Men drive more than women for their jobs.

Bernard245 · 2022-09-10T21:40:21+00:00

Wake me up when we lose male sufferage

GeheimerAccount · 2022-09-10T11:41:38+00:00

Honestly if it is true that young men have a much higher risk at causing accidents than women, I wouldn't even say that this is discrimminating, it's just pragmatic. They don't really prove it well in the article, since they only look at absolute values, not relative ones.

Mailingriver_ · 2022-09-11T01:40:03+00:00

You’re kidding me.

antifeminist3 · 2022-09-12T01:53:27+00:00

I can see how feminists would love this, since it would impair the young men from getting jobs by limiting men's mobility, forcing employers to higher disproportionately women.

They should argue from a discrimination against men point of view.
