If I’m right – that the traffic system is intrinsically dangerous, and largely responsible for 30,000 avoidable casualties a year, as well as death and ill-health from poor air quality – then the perpetrators of the system, forever in denial, are guilty of historic abuse and miscarriages of justice on an epic scale. Rather than get away with peacetime crimes against humanity, will they eventually face corporate manslaughter charges?
Roads and traffic might seem trivial compared to higher prestige offices of state such as the Exchequer and Home Office, but we’re all road-users and all detrimentally affected.
By denying appeals on grounds of reason, as in parking and speed enforcement, the system guarantees its survival and insures itself against challenge, just like a totalitarian state. So the extortion rackets continue.
Most regulation makes life on the road a misery when it could be a pleasure. Stimulating individual agency and harnessing instead of hampering human nature would achieve compliance without resentment.
Get off our case, you bloodsucking traffic authorities, so we can live a better life and save tens of billions for the public purse!
