The carnage on our roads continues and it seems we lack the will to do what we must. The National Road Traffic Council requires proper funding to carry out its work. The first step is removing road hogs from our thoroughfares. That would be an easy task if the ticket system was working. We need a system that suspends your license for a year, and possibly up to five years if you receive a certain number of tickets. After that, you would need to go back to driving school. In some cases, persons should have their license taken away permanently.
Ms. Paula Fletcher, the Executive Director for the Nation Road Traffic Council says that the resources allocated are not enough to do the work. Ms Fletcher said that the investment dictates the returns. She outlined that with enforcement, the traffic ticketing system, and getting the new Road Traffic Act in place a lot could happen.

I told her that we need trained personnel to assist injured individuals at the scene of an accident. They should have the proper equipment to provide aid in road crashes and minimize additional harm when transporting people to the hospital.
MsMsletcher opined that things would be better on our roads even if we were to enforce the current act. She pointed out the difficulties in apprehending the bike riders who breach traffic regulations. She indicated that when these riders are stopped and the police approach them, they then ride off and in trying to apprehend them, it has cost police officers’ lives. In some countries, Ms Fletcher pointed out that pole ice throws something across the road to puncture the bikes’ wheels, which will prevent them from getting away.
