South Africa will reduce road fatalities by 50% by 2020 as per the Decade of Action for Road Safety

Greetings to my fellow opponent. Research:Defined as the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. I do advice my opponent to take note of the word study in the definition of the word research which has been taken from www.dictionary.com. Now I conducted research on corruption in South Africa within Traffic enforcement department and my opponent described it as plagiarism only because the research comes from a particular website as highlighted in his argument, which I find tedious of my opponent. And this further tells the general public that my opponent could be sucking all his facts out of his thumb as he confuses conducting research with the art of plagiarism. I further remind my opponent that I stated in Round1 that I will either accept his definitions, and by me providing definitions it simply means that I did not accept his definitions. I further remind my opponent that the whole Decade Of Action initiative was implemented by the United Nations, and was adopted by South Africa, thus meaning that these pillars do apply to South African initiatives to make this campaign a success. Now if this pillars don't apply to South African initiatives how will South Africa then reduce fatalities by 50% by the year 2020. I further advice my opponent to please inform on us on the successes of the initiative implemented by the former minister Mr. Jeff Radebe inorder to tackle corruption? And I would also like to know on how far the new minister is interms of combatting corruption, because general public public, to fondly speak about the former minister like my opponent has done simply means that he is living in the past, and we are in the present. Furthermore general public, I do acknowledge the initiatives in place "but" with corruption taking place, these initiatives will be unsuccessful and will not reduce fatalities by 50% by the year 2020 Moving on to my argument. In this round I will use a case study to substantiate my argument. The following case study is on the failure of ARRTO(The Administration and Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act). I remind the general public that AARTO was established for law enforcement officers to deal effectively and quickly with infringements of road rules. It also aims to alleviate pressure on the courts by penalising drivers and operators who are guilty of infringements through a demerit point system. The more offences you commit, the more points you lose, simple as that.Essentially, AARTO was designed to improve safer driving behaviour and encourage compliance with the law in an attempt to reduce accidents and deaths on our roads. Unfortunately, it has not turned out this way. The system, tested as a pilot project in Johannesburg, has failed so badly that none of the other provinces want it to be rolled out nationally. Gary Ronald, head of public affairs at the Automobile Association (AA) stated that the root of the problem is the ineffectiveness of the very people who are meant to enforce AARTO. General public with the pilot project itself failing, and taking into consideration the comment made by Mr. Ronald, proves to us that its becoming another idea better then its implementation. And how many of the projects my opponent fondly speaks of are like this? General public, yes we will reduce fatalities in South Africa, but note by 50% by the year 2020 as per the Decade of Action for Road Safety, and this is what my opponent fails to understand.
