I find it fascinating the way the government has once again abdicated resposibility in blaming the public for road deaths.
It is an easy call. Obviously the driver is responsible. But who is responsible for the state of our roads? Who is responsible for providing an alternative to driving? Who is responsible for creating the conditions which have led to our commuter society?
We let them away with far too much. They lecture us and we take it like little puppies. Yes, the driver bears a certain responsibility, but the government also bears responsibility - and yet all they do is finger point and lecture.
