Road Toll

It is clear that 300 road deaths is The Target That Is To Be Achieved. And by 2010.The 2004 road toll was 435, 26 fewer than 2003. So as the powers that be cannot control drivers who fall asleep, drivers who fail to give way, drivers who drink, drivers who have prangs at intersections, or the sad state of our roads, they have announced a new idea.

Reduce the speed limit in certain roads, yet to be decided. What will happen is if an accident or a fatality were to be at any of these prescribed sites, it will be widely reported. Especially if it is the Prime Minister going to the rugby.

It won`t reduce the road toll, though.
