CCOVICH said:Exactly. It's always harder to blame the people who have actually died-that would seem to imply a lack of compasssion. But the truth of the matter is probably that a lot of accidents can be avoided if drivers:
(a) don't drink
(b) don't take unecessary risks
(c) don't drive at excessive speeds on country roads
Most of this is the sole responsibility of drivers themselves. The NSC or the Gardai have no influence on things like the weather or road conditions generally, and have little influence on how people behave on the roads (of course you could argue that more Gardai on the roads at more appropriate times implies a greater risk of getting caught and hence should modify driver behaviour, but that is taking some of the responsibility away from drivers themselves........)
