I find the information published on civic compliance, or in particular not compliance, to be particularly interesting. So that I am able find the information again where I wish to refer to the information I write short articles here and provided a link. In this case the publication was about the Western Australia mobile safety camera trials. This differs from the east in that the mobile safety cameras used in Western Australia were mobile trailers that included speeding, average speeding, mobile phone and seat belt usage across a range of areas in WA. That gives a good cross section of usage and non-compliance statistics. The summary of results link provides some very interesting results. There were 384,400 non-compliance incidents out of 8 million vehicles detected, which is around 4.8% of people not complying with the law. That's a bit sad as it tells us that when we're out driving, one in twenty drivers are doing something they shouldn't being doing. The good thing is that 95% or drivers are doing the right thing, or at least the things the government has measured. Dangerous activities such as aggressive driving, dangerous overtaking, tailgating, cutting in too early, cutting out too late, and many other such deliberate or inadvertent activities, shows us there's a level of risk when we drive on the roads that really isn't acceptable but is often impossible to avoid. Hopefully others will find the results as interesting as I jave. Kelvin |
