Proposal to Cut Down Traffic Accidents

[slick]

1) City - Any speed over 55 km/h - A fine of $50,000.00 plus suspension of drivers permit for 5 years plus 5 years jail if caught driving during that time.

Isn't that supposed to be 50 km/h ???

the man keeps proving he has a receipt, not necessarily a permit.

Increase highway speed limit.

Expansion of Roadway Infrastructure.

Dedicated & separated highway lanes for heavy vehicles.

Implementation of more rigorous training/testing before permit issuance.

Implementation of license levels.

Removal of permits for automatic transmission vehicles only, all persons must pass manual transmission vehicle tests.

Increased traffic police on regular marked and unmarked patrols, dedicated to traffic policing only.

Cancellation of permits of reckless drivers (shoulder drivers, tailgaters, overtaking lane blockers, etc) from several months to a year to permanent depending of number of violations.

Cancellation of permits of intoxicated drivers from several months to a year to permanent depending of number of violations. (already in effect?)

Speed is not your enemy.
Untrained/Callous drivers are the enemy.
Speed is efficiency.

SR & 5fwd have the right idea

Blue: Fear mongering with fines is never a solution to anything.

increase highway speed limit to 70mph

Why? We are trying to save more lives not kill more people.

The faster we drive the slower our reaction speed to hazards (including 170 km/h nitwits coming over the median at you).

[b]Actually the faster you drive the more aware you become and the faster your reaction time simply because of adrenaline.[/b] I am guessing you are one of those who cant think faster than the average human huh. Good post, full of all the vitals that qualify your opinion to be BULL SHE and IT!

Lol wut???

[goalpost]

It is either you stop on the amber or go through. One or the other. Not both.[/b]

do you have a driver's permit? did you pass cash to pass regulations?
seems you don't understand why that is a discretionary measure. even though rory's example states it.

We need to remove discretionary measures and make them concrete!

Yes to the first question and No to the second although the Licensing officer and I had a MAJOR disagreement during my driving test. No need to pass money though. Not that I would have either, eh.

Apparently you don't understand the concept of a discretionary measure & its purpose.
