Pretty sunset...
It has been an eventful time on Geraldine Street - a grenade was found over the fence alongside my driveway a few weeks ago causing the evacuation and cordoning off of several surrounding properties for a few hours, and then at 11pm last night a drink driver crashed into 3 parked cars writing off all those and the one he was driving - police breathalyzed him and he was well over the limit, but he resisted arrest so they bundled him onto the ground, cuffed him and threw him in a squad car - a passenger was injured and taken to hospital. But despite all that unnecessary excitement the sunset was beautiful tonight... its not all terrible things... ;)
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
32.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
67.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
