Despite pleadings from the Police Traffic Branch and Arrive Alive, speeding and driving drunk on the nation’s roads have now become the norm, all because drivers are getting off with a ticket and a measly fine.
With the upcoming Christmas and Carnival seasons, road deaths and injuries are expected to rise. Like it is a jokey thing or what? Me, I am learning to fly with a jet pack or with wings. Given the reckless way drivers are manoeuvring their metal monsters, it is safer to travel by hot air balloon.
A drunk or speeding driver behind the wheel is a danger to himself and other users of the roadway. We need to get tough with jail sentences. The kicksing must stop! Lives are being lost on the roads; innocent people are being sent to meet Jesus. This foolishness must stop.
Pretty soon the speed limit will become law, and move from 80 kilometres per hour to 100. I feel funeral agencies will benefit immensely.
