I feel the crushing of cars - not sure if it actually happens - is one of the most ridiculous things/laws I have heard.
If we crush cars that are roadworthy or able to be roadworthy this is in itself a crime.
My Rotary club just donated many hours and dollars assisting a single Mum with a sick child get herself mobile after some low life stole her only means of transport.
This Mum who had already experienced the sudden death of her partner is faced with frequent visits to the metropolitian childrens hospital.
Our club was approach to help her as she had insurance but did not have full comphrehensive. Her car a Ford was destroyed. We purchased a similiar car for her and club members fixed it up..
Total of 100 hours was spent on re carpet, re paint and removing rust etc. The local stereo shop donated a unit. Our local Tyrepower supplied and balanced wheels and tyres.
The look on her face was worth it when the car was handed over. It was humbling to be part of it all.
Put simply - if we have a Government or a Police Force that are taking cars off the street and then crushing them, when there are so many genuine people out there that would give everything to have a car. We have a bigger problem than I thought.
These so called HOON cars could be quickly made roadworthy and given to deserving people.
We have another older lady who travels to hospital weekly for kidney treatment and her car is in need of replacement.
Perhaps someone can tell me if this crushing is taking place at the m oment. I will be the first to go to the site and protest
Surely this crushing of good cars cannot be going on..
