| « What road users summit? | What hope have we..? » |
It's who you are.
Nothing to do with school zones but something that I noticed.
I heard on the radio yesterday, that a student in the U.S. had shot dead 9 people and himself. His grandparents, a security guard at school a teacher and 5 students as well as injuring many others.
Watching Fox news last night, barely nothing of this horror was mentioned.
This morning a live cross to a radio reporter in the US on 2GB, an item about the feeding tube lady and 4 people injured by a cyclone,nothing about the shooting.
But then this massacre had happened at a school on an Indian reservation, maybe that explains it.
If it had've been in a good suburb of New york or Los Angelos imagine the media circus.
I e-mailed this to the Telegraph and the Sydney morning herald on the
18/3/05

Dear Sir
The road user’s summit has mooted a few changes.
One that “good” drivers will be awarded extra points and recently Mr. Costa announced an idea of nearly halving the fine for low range speed offences
These extra points and saving in money won’t go very far when all the new speed cameras that will festoon the large overhead computer advisory signs are brought on line. These signs are springing up everywhere, and don’t forget all the good drivers being bled dry at school zones (49,500 drivers fined $6.5 million in2003/2004 alone, at the Kogarah variable/speed school zone )
We don’t need more speed cameras but lots more unmarked highway patrol cars to catch the bad drivers and “flashing warning lights” at necessary school zones to help make drivers aware of school zone times.
What are “the extra resources” Mr. Costa says will be used to enforce the keep to the left rule?
One plus, the highway patrol will find it easier having a clear right hand lane to catch the miscreants who think this lane is for speeding.

I haven't as yet seen this letter in the telegraph and don't know if the herald has used it.
There have been any number of letters printed about keeping to the left so what is so wrong with this letter to make it unsuitable?
Drive carefully
Comments and ideas are most welcome and pass on the web site.
