And the ****wits don't have to worry about the cameras, because they're
driving a stolen car, or have fake plates or haven't bothered to
register it.

We used to have this system where the ****wits were penalised while the
reasonable drivers could break stupid laws when doing so wasn't overly
dangerous; you see, we had people in cars driving around the roads to
stop those who behaved dangerously and punish them. Unfortunately that
was expensive, whereas setting up cameras which penalise the reasonable
drivers while doing nothing to affect ****wits brings in money, so road
safety was thrown out the window in the search for easy cash.

And now ****wits like you defend the scam that's done more to reduce
road safety and destroy respect for the police than anything I can
think of.

All Allan needs to do is to look at how little the road casualty figures
have gone down over the course of a decade during which the primary safety
- crash survivability - of cars has rocketed.

Changing nothing else would have seen casualty figures falling drastically,
ergo the stasis must be due to a negative effect from the other changes.
