Who’s to blame for killer roads?

ON yet another weekend of road casualties recently, three died in single-car night-time accidents where the vehicle had ‘gone out of control’.

Has any of the bodies appointed to oversee road safety examined the probability of these being associated with our inadequate road markings? Gaybo rattles-on, emotionally, about speed; others, more sensible, mention drink-driving; but no-one appears to consider the roads.

In recent years we have brought in a blanket speed-limit: national roads, 100km/h; regional roads, 80km/h.
