Eleven fatalities on our roads during Queen's Birthday weekend is a tragedy.

Whoever is in charge of policing our roads has got to wake up and smell the traffic fumes.

Farting about issuing tickets on long weekends from stationary check points is probably one of the main reasons for such mayhem on the road.

Mobile policing is what we need, to come across idiots doing 140km/hr and upwards instead of some poor old granny doing 55km/hr-105km/hr.

Mucking about seeking out those doing four kilometres above the speed limit is an irresponsible method of road transport management and is tantamount to manslaughter when someone dies on the rode because half the Police force are sitting or standing round holding a camera when possibly had they been mobile accidents could have been prevented.

One wonders why the Police management team think driving at five kilometres above the speed limit is deadly on a holiday period but okay to go even faster than that for the rest of the year?

And again, why was five kilometres above the speed limit okay on the Thursday before the long weekend but deadly the next day? Come on the manage team, wake up and smell the traffic fumes and free our valuable Police team from mucking about and do more real Police work.
