Speed kills when road safety experts treat drivers as idiots and intellectually challenged children. Speed kills when our knock-kneed government refuses to censor the Ford Explorer TV ad showing some of the most irresponsible driving attitudes ever shown on mass media. Speed kills when drivers are not taught how to handle their vehicles. Speed kills when roads are built to the lowest price rather than the highest standards. Speed kills when the police cringe and cower behind Multa-Nova cameras.
Speed kills when governments are quick to blame speeding as the sole cause of road trauma.
Speed kills when the government relies on Multa-Nova revenue to prop up State finances. Speed does kill. There is a downside to safer roads, you must appreciate. The West Australian, Monday, August 16, 1999. Rather hollow, Dick, considering that the RAC has never before queried the government's attitude on road safety.
