In simple times technology can help the police enforce the law since human beings have a natural affinity to break the law.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">My 2 cents<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 9:09 PM, kris njoroge <<a href="mailto:krsnjo@gmail.com" target="_blank">krsnjo@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p>In my view we need a total overhaul of the whole system a change of attitude by everybody drivers, pedestrians cart pusher everybody. Technology cannot operate in a vaccum so was caught on camera speeding so how do you follow up. I think we should all be forced to go back to school and made to understand what it entails to be on the carriageway. Had asked earlier what distance would be appropriate to keep between cars when traveling at 100kph? You were never taught that in school and nrever tested on it so why would you be surprised when there is a multiple pile up. We generally don't value human life is driving under the influence legal? Road signs are required everywhere not just on Thika road basically we just need to change how we relate with the road. <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br><br clear="all"><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal">-- <br>Barrack O.
