For anyone interested in the plan for the next 2 years...

I couldn't spot anything on Driver Training! Surely that would be number 1 on the list.. Bit of compulsory driver training would go a long way I think.
Their list seems more concerned on spending money on Automated Enforcement? speed cameras I'm guessing.. and making sure we all drive brand new cars with ABS,PSM,TCS,LOL,GTFO and then spend the rest of our cash money on rebuilding intersections and at risk areas of road.. to make them "safer" and then they want "safer speeds" like the lovely stretches of 90km limits you have up north between TGA and Auckland..
Plenty of people are still going to cross the centre line, overtake on blind corners, go too fast in the wet, go too fast for the corner, get road rage, fail to use their indicators, run red lights, run stop signs, fail to look over their shoulder before pulling out etc etc.. having a brand new car with ABS and airbags and a new sealed road won't change a drivers attitudes or behaviour..
Spend all that cash on teleportation technology or something..
