I informed people not that long ago that the road toll would rise dramatically with decreasing fuel prices and that drug testing and other behavioural controls were a complete failure and waste of resources that could be better spent redesigning roads, but that's right the uneducated Safety Institute of Australia bans me becuase of my insight.
As was the case in my last post regarding Victoria, we can now see the effect of lower fuel prices accross the country! SIX people have died on New South Wales roads so far on this long weekend, double the number killed during the same period last year.
The toll rose to six late today when a person died after a head-on collision between two cars in Sydney's south-west at about 4pm (AEST).
This also proves the only improvement in our road toll was due to high fuel prices and less driving, not speed camera's or drug testing! Worse still it shows that speed camera's and drug testing have actually increased the road tolls in their own right!
If we consider all the safety enhancements vehicle manufacturers have made to vehicles has been negated by the pig headed, unqualified safety people influencing road safety and workplace safety implementing fines for minor speeding and drugs that show no increase in risks to drivers.
These fines have actually taken away money that would/could have been spent on keeping their vehicles roadworthy, eg new tyres or brakes!
But then in this society we have to tell these incompetent leaders that they are doing a good job becuase we might hurt their feelings!
Well I tell you this if they can't be bothered proving they are competent in safety with tertiary qualifications, protecting their feelings will only kill more people than they already do!
