Tasmanian road toll is less than half what it was last year to date.

Strangely, the road-safety experts are not congratulating the road-users at
this wonderful state of affairs, even though last year there was much
breast-beating and ripping of bodices about the stupidity of the public.
Perhaps all the stupid ones were killed last year?

Or perhaps last year was a blip that was never really likely to be repeated,
despite the appalling state of many of the major roads

the thing that pisses me off is the chief commissioner of police comes into
the Media today and says how disgusted he is with Victorian drivers over the
Easter break for the 8 deaths......

I had nothing to do with, same with the other 99.9% of other motorists, How
about blaming Govco with there lack of training and how there current
measures are not producing results

Makes you wonder if they have really fooled themselves into beleiveing
abusing road users and weilding big monetary sticks is the only way to
reduce road deaths rather than it just being a policy. Why is it that
everyone else knows this is rubbish yet those in power don't? (Ah, I
love the smell of fine money in the morning!)
