It is quite clear that 'the solution' will take multiple approaches, so why reject technology when it clearly works irrespective of who originated the idea, which by the way does a de-service to the good Daktari since this forum is exactly the space for advancing technological solutions.<br>

Ohaga, Michuki rules reduced PSV accidents by 80%. We all know what<br>
