People need to wake up and be heard,couch bitching will never get anywhere apart from the doctor with high cholesterol!!!!
Unfortunately, inattention (and therefore carelessness) by car drivers cause a lot of accidents. It's just that those which involve bikes are usually very serious or fatal. The Education of car drivers is extremely lacking. Start THERE I'd say, if you want to improve safety. However a Police State is a Police State whether it's in Russia or Victoria. The boys with the guns(radar/bullets) call the shots and when it relates to Traffic Fines, it's like taking candy from children. It's one EASY way to make a LOT of MONEY, legally! Why would any politician give that up?
