It is exactly like asking "do you drive while 'dead-drunk'? And unfortunately, it is only THIS kind of advertisement that can change mentalities - but in Dodoland, I remember clearly the Authorities' representatives stating very clearly that 'we can't shock people', as an excuse for the status quo. And then you see their own enforcement agents texting while driving, lane-splitting, going through red lights, parking like idiots, etc, etc... But the best came from this clear-cut fatal case of drink-driving ending in one strange message. I'll wait for them all in hell!
The recent fatal cases involved young ones who died mostly from inexperience (within weeks of obtaining their license), excessive speed (aping tuning-driven blockbusters), or recklessness (driving without a license). These speak loads on how these drivers have been educated.
Tech is here to provide a solution: detecting who's using a mobile phone while driving. While Australia is planning to use the tech as a detection and deterrent tool, you can bet Dodoland will turn it into something far more sinister in intent...
You have doubts? Well, forget about the why - did they tell you when the +2,000 intelligent cameras adorning our roads have already been put to use?

ReplyDeleteIf you were a front passenger of a drunk-driver's car, here's what you would be seeing... Warning: prepare for the stomach-churning perspective!
