The Best Solution for Safer Roads

With all the talk of speed cameras to reduce road deaths, wider roads to alleviate traffic congestion and bloated, massively complicated cars to improve collision safety, I think it's really disappointing for the government chooses to say or do nothing about dramatically improving triver training, and social attitudes toward driving.

If people could be made to understand just how important it is to drive with consideration for other road users, proper lane discipline, and a heightened sense overall awareness of what's going on around them while they're driving, I think a huge number of the safety, traffic and anti-social driving issues would disappear from our roads entirely. In my mind there's no better solution for these problems than instilling new drivers with proper driving techniques.

Is it that the Transport Ministry doesn't think better training will work, or that it simply isn't a money spinner?
