    The redefinition of "road' was another law amendment that Helen passed in the last few years. What would the 'toll' be if they were excluded. Statistics don't you love them.

    yes but the meaning of a public place is strongly connected to the meaning of a road, and a public place is a very important piece of common law. think of this scenario if beaches weren't roads- someone is killed by a car on a beach. the beach is not a 'road', so the transport act doesn't apply. it was a genuine accident, so manslaughter charges don't apply. sorry just doesn't cut it

    That's what worries me. Is every household accident a pedestrian accident? That would put the road toll death at oh... 28,419 people last year.
