    Not that I'm not guilty of generalising from time to time, in the interests of accuracy ahem....

    A quick look at the police stats PDFs and it seems the rate of offences per 10000 population is pretty much on par with the north....
    And just off the top of the head we have:
    Aramoana massacre, Bain family killings, Ben n Olivia hope, beast of Blenheim, chch crèche (pre quake)...

    I'm pretty much over arguing this one. I guess I'm happy to say yeah, it doesn't matter what position I take, someone will find research that disagrees. C'est la vie. If I said the sky was higher than my roof top today, I bet there'd be someone who could produce research to the contrary.

    But hey, we live where we live, we've got what we've got. I'd rather spend my time enjoying my family and my social time than trying to solve things that won't change.

    I could not agree more.
    Positive Driver education is the way forward. A way to instill positive driving technique in a generation of drivers.
    Way better than ticketing every Tom, Dick and Harry to try and prove a point.

    That would be fine if people gave a fuck, but most dont. Now show people how to be in front of the car in front of you, at any cost, and you would have a winner.

    Not just driver education, it goes deeper than that. ATTITUDE education is the key, right from an early start. People with good general attitudes to life, generally are better motorists. IMO.

    Yes right attitude is importmant but disagree with last part of statement. I know plenty of people who have a great attitude towards others but are shocking drivers with poor road awareness.
    I did pull a young fella out of truck seat in Auckland that I was supposed to train up though cause of his crap attitude. He kept on rolling back at least 1-1.5m at every junction, tried to progressively educate and explain the hazard and the reply was it doesn't Fkn matter. Park brake on, it matters now sonny, your not in the driver seat anymore.
    Didn't see him again, prob became a statistic somewhere else...

    You might want to re-read your own post......
    something must have gone wrong in translation......
