You can fudge away but the reality here is that we could have two bus drivers taking 110 children to school or we can have 100 cars on the road. Mr. Waide’s objective should be the two bus drivers. It is not up to me to come up with a solution. Mr. Waide is being paid the big salary as the chief executive of the RSA to reduce road deaths. Primary to that is putting in a modal shift, as Ms O’Connor put it, from the perspective of road safety and, particularly, when it comes to our children.
