Only one thing needs to happen. Training. Pure and simple.
Teach drivers to pay more attention and drive properly.
Teach kids from kinder or at least prep on how to cross the road and what to look for.

The road toll per population % is dropping quicker than a new cars value
Yes the toll rises,but add into the mix thousands more motorists on the road per year (QLD had a population boost of over 10,000 a month for a while) and maybe a few extra deaths , its really dropping
Young babies are getting killed in the driveways,some cars not even doin a K per hour,thats not even on a road,in the drive
Teaching and or training better drivers is the answer,but it doesnt generate revenue so it just wont happen
Just like increasing fines, impounding cars,squashing cars for some they dont learn

You cant teach stupidity
Cull the gene pool
