Totally agree
QLD had a population spurt of 1500 people per month for ages , yet the death toll increased by a hand full
30,000 mexicans and a few add to the deaths,hardly worthy of spending gazzillions on advertising campaigns
But when the death tolls were reallly looked into,and not blanketed with "Speeding was a factor", youll find a high % was driver error
If the government was that worried about death toll,i mean really worried, it would be standard defensive driving course pre licence,more regular licence upgrades,checks,more regular vehicle inspections,im sure theres more
But they dont or wont make millions a year in revenue if we were all good law abiding citizens driving cars that didnt have modifications or issues
