As easy targets (motorists), we should join together, as responsible people, & fight for sensible, rational, enforcable, & above all, fair laws.
Agreed, but unfortunately the government doesn’t care. (as per my comment about road usage fees).
You can have the most well reasoned argument in the world, but the only time the government has any incentive do anything is when it’s going to make them money or cost them money…
People contesting fines is costing the government money, so they’re raising the penalties to bully more people into not contesting them.
If saving lives was genuinely at the top of the agenda they would do something about the NHS which is a national disgrace, where hospital-acquired infections (MRSA, C dificile etc.) account for approximately 100 deaths per week not to mention countless other deaths arising from poor care.
Those preventable deaths utterly dwarf the number of road deaths (9 per week, of which only 3 are speed related)
Interestingly, drink driving related deaths are at all time high, something policing would reduce, but cameras don’t.
If we lead Europe in road safety then why are we the worst in Europe for preventable hospital-acquired infection deaths… ?
We all know the answer, and thats because this government isn’t motivated by saving lives, it’s interested in making money. The evidence speaks for itself.
