I’ve never been a big fan of ‘I told you so’. However, if I remember correctly, I think I posted on the way the Bracks government’s increased stringency with regards to speeding was just a money grabber and that the reduced number of fatalities on the road was, quite literally, a coincidence. All the evidence would suggest that improving road quality (a much more expensive and non-revenue generating measure) is actually a more effective way of reducing the road toll.

This Easter’s road toll would appear to back this statement because, as a state, we have slowed down and it still proved to be a horrific weekend on our roads.

An unusual topic for me to cover but something worth mentioning anyway.
