My mistake. What I meant to say was whether or not it was revealed before of after the Christmas break would have no effect on the road toll. His reasoning for the delay in revealing his infringement is a furfy.

Despite that I agree with you, speed is not the critical factor in most fatal crashes but rather alcohol, fatigue, not wearing seatbelts, etc. I think they need to move the focus away from just road deaths to serious injury and get into better, more informative ads to educate drivers in what they should be doing on the road instead of treating drivers as idiots with over-simplistic messages. And driver training of course. Getting into bashing head against brick wall territory here.

Agree with you here. Where the government has been successful in reducing the road toll with the introduction of random breath testing.
