unless any were single vehicle accidents
if they were genuinely concerned about safety, they would attend fender benders and they would hand out fines for negligent driving. that likely would have an effect on driving standards.
similarly, they would require elderly drivers to demonstrate competence. per km travelled, our oldest drivers are as dangerous as the youngest. but the big difference is that young drivers have predominantly single vehicle accidents, elderly drivers tend to hit others. on that basis alone, they warrant more police attention.
instead, police roll out tech to target behaviour lots of drivers partake in, without necessarily doing much for road safety. sounds familiar...
