yeah well, the 'normal' speeders (10kph over etc) arent the issue, unfortunately, they/we are the ones that cop the penalties, and the ones that are like the people who get killed, or kill someone else, dont often get the police attention until its too late.

DUI
Driving 50+ over speed limit (especially in built up areas)
Not Wearing a Seatbelt
Just general Retarded Driving (eg. I had some moron in an excel -with a big exhaust and a P plate - change lanes into the right lane while hes merging into the left lane, hes doing probably 60 - 70kph, and im doing 100kph, does it at the last minute just so I cant pass him, I knew it was on purpose cause they were laughing at me when I went around them)
And no I wasnt speeding as I was on the Freeway.

Anyway, anyone who does something retarded on the road and gets killed, gets no sympathy from me. I do however, feel sorry for people and their families, who have been in an accident caused by someone elses stupidity.

If the idiot drivers keep doing idiot things and killing themselves, so be it, 1 or 2 less idiots on the road.

While 204 deaths are 204 too many, the number of fatalities is still an improvement on the 1996 figure of 247, the 1998 figure of 223 and the 218 deaths recorded in 1999," Mr Bowler said.


wow what great progress weve made in 10 years.

i came out of northbridge onto graham farmer last night, booze bus. about 12.30 and there was already 10 or so car lined up. Not good considering they only setup around 11.

More people in WA then ever

More cars regoed in WA then ever

More Km's of roads in WA then ever

The death rate per captia has most likely fallen

You will NEVER stop road deaths.
