AutoExec Summary
South Australia is set to restructure driving laws following the controversial decision to clear Lamborghini driver Alexander Damian Campbell of charges in the death of 15-year-old Sophia Naismith. Premier Peter Malinauskas has vowed to take immediate action and present important driving laws to parliament this year, including a new licensing scheme for drivers of high-powered sports cars and banning the disabling of traction control in such vehicles. The Naismith family, devastated by the decision, is calling for a new “reckless homicide” driving offence. Campbell, who was not speeding or under the influence, faces a maximum one year in jail and a six-month driving ban at his upcoming sentencing.

Brands mentioned: Lamborghini, Huracan, Land Rover, Ferrari, Porsche
