I dont understand it either.
When the child does something wrong its blame the parents, when its the parents fault lets just punish the child. Why is there this way of dealing with things in the educational system?
The people who suggest these ideas just dont know how to deal with a problem directly and want to deal low blows, because thats all punishing the child for the parents actions would be, a low, cowardly blow.
My favourite 'punishment' for drivers for me, are the bus boullards (sp?) that go down to let buses through but then go back up once they've past, and cars that try to get through sneakily get their car damaged when it goes up too fast. Break the rules, pay the price, and very literally. Bet they never try doing it again.
People who park on zigzag lines are just irresponsible, and I dont see why they aren't just automatically fined. There shouldnt even be a warning, and same for OTT speeding aswell. No excuses for not knowing you cant park there or going certain speed limits. What do these people think theory tests where for? You get tested on them so you know and can abide by what they say. Too many people think that they're above the law when it comes to driving, and there alot of things that drivers do illegally that many think are acceptable; speeding, talking on mobile phones, parking on double yellow/zigzags/loading bays etc, drinking over the limit and driving to just name a few.
These people probably (and this isnt based on fact) cause more depths than intentionally armed robbers do, and theres no such thing as letting them off, when potentially more lives are at risk from people ignoring laws on driving.
Annoys me when people say 'well you clearly arent a driver, you wouldn't know', but i'm still a bloody pedestrian and at risk because of the idiots who think its fine to 'bend' rules. Its hardly bending rules when you've knocked over a child crossing the road, or swerved on to the pavement not being able to focus on the road and wiped out the happy couple with their baby in the pushchair. THINK adverts are eant to be a shock advert and make people abide by the rules, millions see them every day, but it makes me wonder how many actually shrug it off and say 'that'll never happen to me, im a safe driver blah blah blah'. Arghhh rant over.
