Behavioural Control in Road Safety forgets the most important factor in behavioural control!

In the CASR001 Annual performance indicators of enforced driver behaviours, 2002
Report it highlights just how lacking in understanding and knowledge our road safety experts are, as they focuss on modifying motorists behiour, it becomes apparent they know little about energy release and the like and are just a bunch of psycologists not people with safety knowledge!

And the most glaring aspect that makes their lack of knowledge obvious is the fact that there is not even a mention of modifying the behaviour of those that design and build our roads! If they had knowledge they would understand they need to remove energy release points from the sides of our roads and to do this we need to educate the road designers and engineers in energy release and removing these.

But then it appears someone needs to educate the road safety experts first.
