It doesn't get any better

Been out of the loop for a little while, testing, observing, and generally avoiding being killed on what is laughingly called the New Zealand Roads. Whilst it is obvious that some raging chemical change takes place with most kiwis heads, this is a phenomenon that appears world wide. but why? I have tried to research the subject  but to no avail. How is that normal, rational, friendly, gregarious individuals, go through this metamorphic process, leading to aggressive, thoughtless, uncaring, reckless drivers, crazy is not the word for it.

So whats the answer? I have no idea, when I find out I will be a millionaire that's for sure having sold the book and film rights.

However there are somethings that could be done to alleviate the situation. Make the driving test tougher, have people resit the driving test ,say every 3-5 years, these items themselves will over time improve road safety and improve driving ability. Will the government respond? Nah! There isn't the political will to make substantial and workable policies. the knee jerk reaction that is the hall mark of successive governments is and indictment of the pathetic ways road deaths are viewed in New Zealand
