Law is the best remedy

MARTIN CULLEN and Gay Byrne are wrong about people having accidents because they do not listen to advice.

Offering advice is a waste of breath. Driver behaviour improved when penalty points were originally introduced. When the authorities were seen to be welshing on enforcement, however, they were treated with contempt.

Recently I witnessed two drivers passing out a line of traffic doing at least 100 km-h within 100 yards of Mr Byrne’s home. Both cars were large, new and driven, I assume, by pillars of society. Their driving, however, was totally irresponsible. If anyone happened to be coming in the opposite direction there would have been a horrific crash.
