    Why are you posting a half baked reckon from someone with no experience in road safety beyond being a motorist? The only evidence or statistics discussed here are a quote from a government minister.

    This whole article is just a pointless waffle piece.

      It’s an opinion piece mate. That’s what they are. If you don’t like it just keep moving.

        Isn’t the point of an opinion piece that we hear from someone with an in depth knowledge of the topic at hand? Why should I value this person’s opinion?

          Newsroom columnist Lianne Dalziel served 32 years in politics, as Christchurch East MP, Minister of Immigration, ACC and Commerce, and then as Mayor of Christchurch.

          Because she might know a thing or two about regulations?

            The only one of those that is even tangentially related to road safety is ACC, the rest have nothing in common.

            The article also doesn’t discuss any evidence around road crashes, or any experience she may have gained while being the minister for ACC, just talks about how she’s not in a hurry to get anywhere, so why should you be?

            The whole thing is just hand wringing waffle.
