With respect, this is hardly news...Although I must say, the editorial was well written.
For too long motorists have simply let the Government get away with this stuff.
They say that, if you repeat a fiction long enough, it will eventually be accepted as truth...Hence the propaganda over many years that "Speed Kills". An intially (rightfully so) disbelieving public has eventually "come around" to the "fact" that speed kills, so no action is taken, or complaint made about Governments continually introducing more methods of catching drivers out...
My 2c? If they were in any way serious about reducing the road toll, they would direct this revenue into proper driver education (as in, how to control a car properly in all conditions, how to drive to those conditions - and your own/the vehicle's limitations - , general road sense, defensive driving, pulse-braking and collision avoidance etc etc) no questions asked. Instead, they direct this extra money into General Revenue and it then goes...Where? Into Politician's pockets via elaborate (and unfairly, leniently treated) Super schemes etc.
It's high time someone bit the bullet and formed a State-based political party whose over-riding agenda was better treatment of motorists. (And to force proper, transparent accounting from Government).
/end rant.
