The ongevalsstatistieken on our provincial roads fall, and everyone cheers. But at what cost are our roads become safer?
When you complete living room in a rubber room changes decreases the risk of accidents indoors significantly, but that means tegelijkertjd not that your quality of life very much going forward. Something similar run road) in the last years fanatic on our provincial roads.
But first, let’s give credits where these are earned: there are commendable and useful improvements to the provincial road network implemented, such as the removal of dangerous intersections, the placement of crash barriers along channels, it is better to separate the oncoming traffic by a wide double center mark, and, where possible, the widening of the roads and/or the removal of hazardous roadsides.
Dumbing down
Opposite is unfortunately something that in English is beautiful ‘dumbing down’ is called: you apply the conditions to the debielste road user, type his/her driving licence with a pack of detergent seems to have gotten, and drags all the drivers who do mind, and traffic have in a treurniswekkende zouteloze dullness.
We aim of course to pull of a nearly continuous with a continuous line in places where previously just overtaken should be, to the 100 meter threshold, and especially the relentless amount of 60-signs and mobile speed cameras) that are faster in berms appear than chickenpox on the skin of your little.
And dare especially not on a straight stretch of road with a mile visibility, the Sunday driver with 80 on the counter where 100 is allowed (or even worse: no cruise control, and a constantly varying speed) in the camera, because the policeman is there as the chickens at to you for € 230,- to write, if you are a bit unlucky with a whole crew and dwarf in its wake.
100 fatalities
In the last few years, we are in my opinion (partly because of increased control and huge amounts of forced) more disciplined than themselves to drive, the safety of our cars went up by leaps and bounds, and the infrastructure was there, nor worse. And so, that bodies such as the SWOV – the same shop that an overtaking prohibition wants to default to a narrow 80-roads – now cheering ‘only 100 deaths in 2013 compared to 249 deaths in 2003’ report.
Great news, of course, the number of fatal accidents that in 10 years time with an amazing 60%, but you pay a price for that, because the road you stupid eight at its own discretion, verkeerskeuzes. Nice all in a soporific train from A to B to chug is the motto, then nothing can happen. And this is true, but it expresses the fun of driving for those that previously are still somewhat behind the wheel and their choices could make.
