Default Head on with a minibus full of elderly. Young driver madness.

http://www.9news.com.au/national/201...van-in-rosebud

I caught some of this on the news while I was doing dishes in the next room.

Apparently witnesses claim the young driver, 23 & potentially a disqualified L or P plater, was driving erratically, tried to overtake at speed in suburbia & collided head on with a bus transporting elderly citizens.

Sadly this was a fatal incident.

Regardless of his reasons, I have no sympathy for that young guy & offenders like this should be made an example of for the whole country to see. Throw the book at him, & the book case it was sitting on!
My guess would be he was either high/drugged, or very angry at the time of the incident.

Punishment should involve years of community service at a nursing home, then follow that up with assisting in a morgue dealing with trauma victims.
To top it off, his grandparents should whip him with garden hose!

Maybe then this one, & young selfish fools like him, will grasp the full reality of the devastation caused by their personal actions.

I could have my assumptions wrong with this story, but I doubt it.
Give it a week & his family will try & tell us that he had a "medical condition", or give us some other lame excuse.
