Real law enforcement needed to curb traffic deaths

REGARDING the 50% rise in road deaths so far this year, the RSA and the gardaí are quick to take credit for falls in traffic casualties, so shouldn’t they be accepting the blame for increases? To blame complacent parents is a calumny.

The RSA and gardaí have deliberately sabotaged enforcement of speed limits by divulging the locations of cameras. Real law enforcement is needed, which can only come from hidden cameras and garda presence. Urban 30kph speed limits could save lives, but the gardaí and RSA are opposed to this, and any other measures to make the roads safer which might inconvenience motorists.

I believe they are to blame for the increase in cyclist and pedestrian casualties.
