I see in the first post that the NSW road toll is currently 94 more than last year.
The concentration on speeding is not fixing the problem. So let's increase fines and have more speed cameras.
When are the authorities going to look elsewhere, rather than fall back on the same old revenue raising initatives.
On the way to Tathra I was forced off the road by an on-coming car who was overtaking a bunch of cars and just had to get around the last one before he pulled back in....even though there was room behind the last car he wanted to overtake.
As he went past the last car, we were 3 abreast with me going the opposite direction trying to give him as much room as possible but guide posts and a ditch limited my space.
This near accident was nothing to do with speed....just stupidity and impatience.
Maybe just for once the authorities need to get off the speed kills bandwagon and spend sometime concentrating on drivers like the above 'tard. But it's more revenue effective just to set speed traps.
What about the novel idea of patrolling up and down the highway, and pulling over the drivers on their phones, or txting, or making unsafe overtaking moves.
BUT it just doesn't make money or statistics like a speed camera can.
