School Zone Santa .Com

On the RTA web site I found the Flashing light report.

111 Pages of graphs, tables and lots of words .

It didn't say how much the report cost though.

This was the summary of the 111 pages
So it appears that the most effective ,was lights mounted on the existing "school zone signs".
In other words, simple orange lights.

Peter Olsen's cheap but effective "Flashing Lights"

So the "independent" people studied the data and worked out that flashing lights work. Amazing, 111 pages worth.

I sat and watched the brake lights come on at the simple, cheap Peter Olsen lights at Lurgano and I didn't need convoluted trials to come to the same conclusion.

No kids around but the drivers braked when they came up to the lights.

The Carnage contiues

There has been a number fatal accidents involving young drivers and the usual statements from our leaders.

We have leaders that regulate, tell us what to do, and penalise if we don't.

But what sort of example do they set?

We've had a minister "resign" for "misleading" parliament, (read lie and sacked)

There has been an unholy squabble over a to be vacant seat in the Blue Mountains, a minister has been charged over alleged underage homosexual acts over a number of years.
A minister is facing drink driving charges and another minister a Mr Hickey is also letting the ALP side down

So I e-mailed this in to the editor and it was in the Telegraph the next morning

I wasn't the only one to think this way judging by the cartoon in the telegraph the next day

What is needed to help slow the road truma, is a lot more unmarked highway patrol and the wheelclamping or confiscating of the vehicles of repeat offenders.
