So far, it's a abject failure, deaths are up 50%Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18429349943129907930noreply@blogger.comBlogger3125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37353682.post-13050214891404201402017-08-28T17:53:34.054-07:002017-08-28T17:53:34.054-07:00to begin with, Garcetti is a total moron.
secondl...to begin with, Garcetti is a total moron.<br /><br />secondly how many of those accidents and injuries and deaths are caused by being a sanctuary city full of illegal immigrants who receive zero punishment from their traffic crimes?<br /><br />if youre a citizen with an actual drivers license and insurance and money, the cops write you all kinds of tickets, if youre an illegal, the cops just let you go.<br /><br />and how about having an actual driving test with proven skills like you have to do for say a private pilots license or commercial truckers license.<br /> in europe they have to have actual provable driving skills to get a DL,<br /><br />and lastly, how about lowering the fine for stupid victimless stuff like speeding etc. and adding a zero on the end of the fine for CAUSING an accident.<br /><br />a minor speeding ticket, (less than 25 over) should be say, a $75 fine ond no points on your DL,<br /> however if you CAUSE an accident it should be a $1500 minimum fine and say 5 points, and if you cause another accident within 5 years it should be a $4000 fine.<br /><br /><br /><br />userbroncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564803379372058829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37353682.post-44452852788783458282017-08-27T14:50:57.365-07:002017-08-27T14:50:57.365-07:00Vision Zero AutomobilesVision Zero AutomobilesCactikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079693944560020718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37353682.post-76279106281229953052017-08-25T17:05:34.470-07:002017-08-25T17:05:34.470-07:00The Swedish government decide a short while ago to...The Swedish government decide a short while ago to reduce traffic deaths to zero. An admirable goal, which cannot be reached, but I'm sure they'll get pretty far part of the way. Now already a lot of towns have 20 or 25 mph speed limits, and the natives seem to be in on the game.<br /><br />Of the many ways to achieve such a goal, driver education is but one. Having lived and driven a lot in the US, I'm convinced that this by far will be the most important in this country. Europe has it's morons in traffic too, but overall our driver ed is more stringent (Denmark: 26 lessons theory, 26 lessons driving on road and track).
