THE ''absolute stupidity'' that has resulted in two teenage road deaths this week has led to calls for a crackdown on inexperienced drivers.

Police said it appeared speed, alcohol, driver behaviour and a lack of seatbelts had contributed to the separate crashes in which 16-year-olds Aaron Piroska and Ebony Dunsworth were killed.

Superintendent Neville Taylor said those driving the cars were ''just out to kill themselves and kill others'' and he welcomed a discussion about the merits of speed interlock devices and curfews for young drivers.

And last night, a man in his 20s was killed and eight others injured in a two-car collision at Kangaroo Ground on Melbourne's north-eastern fringe.
