Drivers are at fault, not pedestrians

YOU report (August 29) on the huge numbers of prosecutions for driving offences, drivers who cheat prosecution and a website that details the lunatic behaviour of motorists.

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) claims “motorists know that if they choose to break the law and engage in killer behaviour, they will be caught”. This is nonsense. Everyone knows the chance of being caught is minute; less than one in 1,000.

The RSA blames children for getting killed and injured on the roads and is launching a campaign to ‘educate’ them, thus exonerating motorists who are not, it seems, in need of education.
