Roads Carnage Continues

Five More Dead Today, and the carnage continues sespite penalty points and the use of high ensurance costs to control the driving public.

Just wondering that if the Army/Army Reserve/Air Corp could be called upon to halt the mass deaths of Irish Citizens, who if they were being killed in these numbers by terrorists, or other threats to the state, they would be there in a flash. Wondering if 500 extra checkpoints tonight might save lives. Just wondering if those who speed had an increased chance of being caught, it might modify the beheviour.

Any thoughts?

Firstly, stupid suggestion.

Secondly, you can only do so much to protect people against themselves. How can you stop people from driving into a ditch/tree/pole at 3am?

You realise this is a football forum, right? Did you come here to talk about football, or did you sign up to a dozen forums today to spam and rant about the clichéd "carnage on our roads"?

I like the suggestion of the Air Corps..It would be fun if to see some boy racer getting strafed off the road :-)
