I saw this clip of a guy on a bike going down a crowded freeway? at near 300 klms and he did not die so one wonders just how many get away with similar...
The drink is a grave concern... I go to the pub and it amazes me how some can even walk to the car let alone drive it and the failure to really fix the drinking problem sees so many lives lost or bodies rendered useless.
I feel an ignition linked to a breath tester would be great...last Friday I was so cut I should not have been driving and waking the next morning had no idea what got into me..well the drink of course...and irrespective of the penelaties my brain had signed off..I would have been happy to have big brother flicking the off switch...
I think we already live in the big brother world... certainly we have as many cameras looking at us as George Orwell wrote of in his classic book...1984...wow we past that without those animals taking over..mmm, no that was Animal Farm.. another interesting insite as to the corruptive power of power...
I do think it is hypocritical in a land where speed is limited by law to 110 max (I know there are places etc) that even my little 4 cylinder city car will reach the ton... no I have not tested its top speed but at 125 you can tell it will go all the way... so why not simply set cars up to do only say 150 k not as many "family" sedans are capable of....speeds well in excess of 200 thats for sure.
