Pedestrians at fault in 33 of 50 fatalities
So 66% of the accidents are the pedestrians fault, so we punish the drivers with lower speed limits.
2011 288*
2010 288
2009 290
2008 303
2007 332
2006 337
2005 346
2004 343
2003 330
2002 397
2001 444
The toll has fallen considerably, about 35%, yet the population in Victoria rose by 9.9% between 2005 and 2010.
Sooo, the pedestrians are at fault, and the toll is falling, and the population is increasing, yet we continue to whinge about the road toll due to retard people who cant walk.
I say its Darwins theory at its finest.
