Correct - the govts have a "vested" interest in the road toll increasing. They can then simply cry "speed kills" and graham7773 and his friends will applaud them and vote for them and not even question what proactive policies the govt will ever put in place to reduce death on roads eg driver training in schools. They are happy for instance to teach even primary school children their "rights" if a parent slaps them; and they actively encourage high school girls as young as 14 to leave home and go on a "pension" - the more people dependent on the govt the more votes they seem able to count. But there is nothing in place (that is working) to help any of our children preserve their lives when they get behind the wheel.
