>road safety experts

You mean people paid to enforce and instill road regulations? Oh gee, I can't see a conflict of interest in that at all.

Ford is American but it's gone all global and shit. The Focus is being built in both in Germany and Michigan.

Meanwhile, they can drive a getaway car for a bank robbery and still keep their driver's license (after they get out of jail of course).

liking cars in australia is like linking guns in california, except worse

This is the new /dat/ thread?

Rip my front suspension, pulls to the left when I brake and pretty sure the lower control arm is clunking under braking. Brakes need to be done too, may as well fefurbish the whole front

> driving contrary to the conditions of an extraordinary licence
he'd already lost his license. the X class license is a restricted license you apply for because you need a car to get to and from work even if you've lost your license for demerit points so that you can only drive it in association with work. so basically he got caught too many times.

Ive met people who've gone to jail over that sort of stuff as well.

when you get caught, just drive carefully until the heat is off ffs its not hard. clearly youre a fucking shit driver if you're doing burnouts around cops repeatedly. for these retards its not even about the aesthetic of driving, its just hurrrr durrrrrrr SCREEEEEEE

>>15553903
They're trying to get drift mode disabled. Not ban the car. It's still stupid but whatever.

>>15553943

You mean one state. Even then you're still exaggerating.

>>15553903
When they say safety experts, they mean cunts like Tracy Grimshaw and friends. I wish someone would take that slug out the back and shoot her.

Why would you need the computer to help you with a skid?

>>15553903
"Hoons" are to our media what "KKK member white cop murders African American youth" is to yours.

>>15555529
Doesn't it just put traction control off and send more torque to the rear wheels? Sounds less like "press for instant hectic times" and more "mad skids enabled."

Also california is far from a policestate. Outside of smog which is easy to cheat you can get away with so much shit on the road. And if youre talking about guns theres so much 'fringe' shit you can legally own that take the place of whatever is illegal.

The getaway driver will not be doing any dangerous driving killing anyone. The idiot doing the burnout could have killed someone if his handbrake cable lines snapped or if his brakes melted.

Suggesting you need to be skilled to drive like a hooligan.

>>15556860
the sudos and somalis are pretty fucking bad all around the place. A bunch of them moved into my neighborhood recently courtesy of the tax payer. Theft and broken shit has gone up so much in 6 months and cops are here so often I can't even take my drift car for blockies anymore. These nig nogs are the ones they're 'rallying' because they dindu nuffin rong. Although the blm/commie ringleader is the ginger duke that trashed Bernardi's office over safe schools, there's still enough of them pretending they're innocent citizens to fuck me off

>>15556924
On one hand i agree with the motorists who dont want this banned but having this mode enabled from the factory will just let retards think they are ken block and skid into the neared kurb

BLM is truly a fucking disgrace.
The only death I can think of here in Canada that BLM got involved in was a black guy who came at cops with a fucking hammer, and was only like 2 meters away when he was finally shot and killed.
But
>Wah he dindu nuttin
>Dey didn't hafta kill him he a gud boy

>>15558960
Most white BLM supporters live in rich neighborhoods, they have no idea what it's like to deal with dindus on a daily basis. I fucking hate living here, fucking blacks are animals. The other day they were standing on my front lawn and my mom was too scared to tell them off (she was home alone). Me and my bro got home and told them to fuck off and to take their dog too.

is there anything that doesn't get banned in australia? why are australians such vaginas?

>The idiot doing the burnout could have killed someone if his handbrake cable lines snapped or if his brakes melted.

this is literally the gayest thing ive read on o tonight

>Ford cannot absolve itself from its duty of care to road users and its customers with a disclaimer in the dashboard.
This thinking is backwards. The only duty Ford has is to make sure the drift mode performs safely as intended. That's it. You can't hold a car manufacturer liable for the fuckup of a consumer misusing a product.

They're basically insulting themselves. "Australians aren't mature enough to handle the responsibility of drift mode" is all I read it as.

>>15559587
It's not about electing fuckwits, it's about pressure groups. They're fucked.

>>15559630
I don't follow. Do the pressure groups have legislative power?

cunts BTFO

>>15559654
No they don't. However, they pressure a large amount of MPs and senators in the state and federal parliaments. And because we work on the principle of representative government, these things get discussed and new shit laws are in place.
I for one, wouldn't be surprised if there was a large group of 45+yo women lobbying against any form of 'fun' car.

At the end of the day, this kind of shit is so fucking stupid. Your average 'hoon' can't afford the $50k one of these costs. They go and buy a $4-8k rwd Nissan which doesn't have a drift mode, but that sure as shit doesn't stop them. I fucking hate these soccer mums, their fuck off suvs coupled with the fact none of them can drive or be patient, courteous road users is 10x more dangerous than me whipping the tail out on an empty road. I'd love to see how many of these cunts would get taken off the road with yearly driver retesting.

>>15554243
