Brian Austin of Dorset Road Unsafe – totally lost the
plot
http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/9814234.No_Excuse_campaign__100_drivers_caught_in_Dorset_in_latest_day_of_action/
Once again Dorset Road Unsafe
demonstrates that all it is concerned with is silly stories about what some
people say, and making money. It seems not concerned in the slightest that “the
number of people killed or seriously injured in accidents on Dorset’s roads
between January 1 and April 30 rose by 27 per cent from 2011.”
“Brian Austin, No Excuse project manager, said the day of action on June 21
again produced comments that show bad and careless drivers continue to use
Dorset’s roads.”
So just when is it going to be, Brian Austin, that your chosen activities are
going to reduce “bad and careless driving”? Would your choice of activities be
different, if you were motivated by reducing accidents and injuries, rather than
making money?
Probably 10 £Grand for a day
for a few cops picking off trivial offences while tailgaters, road ragers, boy
racers, thugs, dangerous overtakers and the simple totally incompetent drivers
carry on with no concern of detection whatsoever.
That should help to keep Brian
Austin in work while desperately needed, and PUBLIC FACING front line police are
cut back.
It is now 14 months that Dorset Police, now assisted by the
Chief Constable, Martin Baker, and the Chief Executive of the Dorset Police
Authority, Martin Goscomb, have concealed how they spend the £millions that they
take from decent people mostly driving a tiny amount over totally impractical
and absurdly low speed limits set by totally incompetent councils such as
Poole, and actively ignore the vast number of risks associated with interfering
with the LARGEST possible numbers of LEAST dangerous drivers.
While on the subject of Poole Council, their public statement
of a £300,000 a year saving from the traffic lights at Fleetsbridge, which seem
to be working even less efficiently now than ever before, looks quite simply
like false accounting but like Dorset Police, the senior members protect those
who make these appalling, wasteful, dangerous mistakes. I have lost count of the
number of times I have asked Poole Council to clarify the saving and that they
have refused to do so.
There is a very real
possibility that the recent INCREASE in killed and injured counts would actually
be less if this ridiculous, faceless organisation was simply shut down.
