Over here, with the death toll 26% up this year, there's a big push on, re speed - particularly out in the country - so, during the day, the main and subsidary roads are very regularly patrolled and speed cameras are being used more. Fine - there are very few fatalities during the day, though, - most of the country fatalities - probably 75%, seem to be late at night/early morning, single occupant/rider running off the road and hitting a tree (of which nearly all the roads are liberally lined - normally about 1 metre off the seal). And very few of them are wearing seat belts!.....
So - we have tired/intoxicated drivers, at night, at a time of high wildlife activity, on roads with no margin for error, where most drivers seem to be able to lose control of a car if a wheel drops off the seal, killing themselves, and the authorities tell everyone to slow down and target speed !!
It seems to have become a knee jerk reaction - instead of looking at the problem they look at numbers!

Hmmm...
The original call was roughly half the drivers out there are above average...
I am pointing out that half would struggle to make average and roughly half would be piss poor... the remaining 37 or so people on our roads, give or take a few extra KB members who rate themselvesas well, would be above average or really good....
I think I made it clear now?![]()
