Sat, 07 May 2005 18:41 that is the point, you get done for not actually doing anything dangerous, if they are truly serious about road safety, they should ban cars that are more than 15 years old (unless they're engineered.. which will affect a lot of people I know, but it's for safety) they should make ABS compulsory because so many bad drivers, and they should have ads to tell people to look carefully before turning right across other people! If they are serious about safety, they should have automatic transmission only and teach people to have their left foot floating above the brake pedals just so they can stop quicker in case of accidents, if they're serious they should banned cheap suspension, brakes and tyres, because if 5km/h over the limit is so dangerous, just because of the mere 1.4m/s extra that is travels, and the slightly longer stopping distance makes so much difference, what even bigger difference would good tyres, suspension and brakes will make? there's so many things that makes driving dangerous, but if 500,000 tickets are issued per year, and only 500 of death, does it mean the 1 million speeding motorist are so dangerous, that they have caused a 500/500,000 = 0.1% risk of death per year and they all deserved to be fined? Don't we all understand it's all about revenue raising, although this is a democratic free country, we still deserved to be ripped off? They say they have fined you legally, but is this lawful? Why no one would care to do anything about it? If they are really serious, I would rather they concentrate on reducing the crime rate, and malpractice in hospital which is what I would call tragedy, it's so obviously we have no speeding problem, but a revenue raising problem, we should have slogans: "It's not speed that killed your kids, friends and family, it's greed and ignorance". It's too obviously they're not interested in reducing road safety, they just want more money, more tax, so the corrupted politicians and police can have more tax-payers paid holiday in some 5-star resorts! And if they're truly serious about road safety, they should have the speed limit set by those that really know what they're doing! Eg. traffic engineers!
