Road Safety - Statistics.

Wow in one of the driest years Victoria recorded 6 less deaths on our roads for the 12 month period, yet I'm sure there are some still in coma's that will add to that figure at some stage.

But it will be interesting to see what happens to their statistics when they get an extended wet period as has been experience in Queensland in the last 24 hours with a spike in the the number of deaths coinciding with the extended wet period (a blessing however for all that need water).

Perhaps an extended wet period around the country will lead to a spike in the statistics and we will be able to compare it with the last year there was a extended wet period and actually see how bad/good they are managing road safety.

In fact we should have statistics broken down to coincide with weather pattens, temperatures and conditions such as rain.

And then we could run some accurate comparisons to see if any initiatives have been succesful or on the other hand wether we are over regulating leading to actual increases in road tolls.
