No I haven't forgotten about school zones and I'm waiting for an RTA announcement re the results of their school zone "flashing light "trials.
I have read about a raft of new and amended penalties for motorists but can't find any mention of extra highway patrol police to enforce them,unless we count the 4 new speed cameras being installed on Parramatta Rd Glebe, as extra police.
The bit of road that these cameras are guarding is outside Sydney University , what age are uni students, that they need 4 speed cameras to help them cross the road.
We need more police to catch the bad drivers not cameras to penalize someone who could stray to 65 at 2am on a deserted road.
There was another story in the Telegraph last week about the illegal use of mobil phones in cars.
To help minimize this dangerous behavior I suggest to arm police with a date stamp digital camera and to stand near any intersection and to send offending drivers a $500- $600 fine and to include information on the relatively inexpensive "hands free" technology available.
