Paula Rose the (heavily made up face) of Road safety in NZ is retiring:

She was responsible for overseeing the lowered tolerance on speeding on public Holidays and is very proud of her achievements in road safety policies. Should she be?

Good riddance to the dopey bitch.

However...

Better the devil you know, than the Devil you don't...

My occupation prevents me from making any statement on her passing.

Good riddance to the dopey bitch.

+ 1

Let's just hope they replace her with someone capable of looking past the trees and seeing the wood... (although my hopes aren't high)

Sometimes, when you try your very best, no matter what the results are, there will always be a percentage of people that will redicule you at every oppotuntity.

And those who would stand up and say well done or thanks for trying will remain quiet for fear of being ridiculed themselves.

I think its a shame. She's proud of the lowest road toll ever (last years). Hails as a career highlight. Who would've thought that a police Supernintendo would invent SRS airbags, restraint systems, lay better roads, build crumple zones into vehicles, develop better tyres. All of which no doubt are the real reasons the road toll lessened.

Are we sure she is retiring?
The cynic in me ponders the possibility that it's a euphemism for 'leave, or be fired'. The mixed bag of results stemming from her 4kph tolerance (wasn't this Xmas just gone one of the worst in terms of deaths?) and we never heard of her before the 4k thing...

shit you guys are harsh....its her bloody job....she has to be seen sayin certain things and prolly has no control on the resources she can bring to bear....

Perhaps ... when people stop for stop signs, actually give way to all other vehicles at give way signs, stop trying to overtake in stupid places, ... the toll might just be a little lower.

Why couldn't she have stopped those things happening ...

You're right. Probably nothing she is seen to be doing/saying is actually her idea/s. She is just the face of that level of traffic management.
However, as the face, she is also the sacrifice if a policy is a failure...
