Sir, - It baffles me why we have to dream up all sorts of clever schemes and ideas to tackle the problem on our roads. It is quite obvious that the best deterrent to bad driving is getting caught and punished. The best deterrent to under-age drinking is getting caught and punished.
Let's quit all the talking while people are being killed and immediately increase the number of gardai on patrol. Then we can make the penalties worth avoiding, setup up a highway patrol and have all the fancy schemes we like. I am concerned that it could be you who is killed this weekend. - Yours, etc.,
