Our tax dollars hard at work again. Amazing. What money wasting ideas are our politicians going to think of next?
What amazes me more is that they all most likely had countless meetings at the tax payers expense and the outcome was "lets purchase a couple of cars. Sticker them up and park them on the side of the road to deter people from speeding for a few hundred metres."
Maybe I'm not viewing it as others are but wouldn't it be better to spend it on educating their future tax payers? Get programs started in our schools at a young age say year 7 and carry it through to the final years. Educate and shock people. Maybe even encourage students to join motoring groups and track days at the local go kart track to start with, this way they can all learn to steer, brake and get some driver judgement skills. Even make it an assessment critria that all need to to pass to allow them to apply for a their learners permit.
Surely, if they were serious about saving lives etc, they could dip into the millions they make from speed cameras, rego etc put a package together to introduce into our schools?
The only good that I can see from what they have come up with through such an idea is when they need to replace the cars, there shall be a number of low k HWP cars going cheaply to the public at governemnt auctions.
