It is amazing that in the 1970s society deemed such road death levels as acceptable, because it would not have happened if they had not been, as a downside of having a transport system. The outlook we need to take is zero tolerance to road deaths and injuries because one death is one too many. We should try to embrace technology more and see it as a way of self-policing road traffic management and as a means of punishing and regulating those who have stepped outside the mark. It might be more effective than some of the measures in place. I encourage the Minister to explore as many measures as possible.
