These people kill too, they cause accidents, yet there are no massive campaigns to target them ?

People who dont use their fucking eyes are the biggest cause of all accidents...yet have you ever heard of cops either performing or insisting on eye tests ? No, but they'd check for road tax or an MOT which are both complete bollox.
Do they ever send blind fucktards to get re-trained with their driving ? People who cause accidents..do they get educated on how not to crash ?
Nope.

They dont give a fuck if the driver behind the wheel cant see 2ft in front of them...but it's the crime of the century if they to 35mph in a 30 when the road is completely empty and perfectly safe.

There is no doubt many aspects of policing isnt fun at all, but when many "road safety" and I use the term loosely...but when many such campaigns are about bullshit causes of accidents yet they ignore real causes, it's just hard to take them seriously.

I've only been in about 4 accidents where people have hit my car. All drivers were sober....but clearly fucking blind. Not one got prosecuted.
The last one despite the driver effectively running a red light ( largely as he also rammed me through the red light )...call the police...response " Oh, that's nothing to do with us".

Based on personal experience, the police as a whole do not give a fuck about the real world causes of accidents or dangers on the roads. That isnt to say some cops dont have a genuine interest in improving road safety, but clearly those in power do not.

Eye tests , get real. world apart from how drink and drugs affects you . Yes people crash for not paying attention but that's often spending to long behind the wheel or working long hours and so on .


Im sure the police (as above do give a shit) but how many times do they have to say , don't speed, don't drink and drive etc etc


Feel for the guy having to go tell the young girls mum she aint coming home , and to see the car and bodys ? I don't think I could cope with that
