Drive anywhere in Europe,and from time to time.you will see,a stationary flashing blue light,where the police have pulled a driver,over for some traffic,infringement How many times have you seen the above scenario,here in Malta? Drive how you like.break every rule in the Highway Code,with impunity,its time to stamp down on these people,and stamp down hard,nothing will change,till heavy fines,driving bans are implicated

The QUICKER the SYNDROME - CARRY ON DRIVING, THE OTHER ONE WILL STOP- is addressed by the AUTHORITIES, the sooner our roads will become SAFER. At the moment they are DEATH TRAPS!!
You see them driving looking straight ahead, oblivious of ALL the other TRAFFIC around them. Just like senseless ROBOTS!!
The TRAGEDY lies for all the other INNOCENT and RESPONSBILE DRIVERS whose LIFE and LIMB is continually threatened by THESE BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!!
WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT??!!

When will they ever learn. The sad thing about these episodes is that in most cases some innocent person is the victim of these idiots and their ignorance, selfishness, and unconsiderate actions.
It's there for everyone to see except the police it seems.
Its about time that a section of the police force be assigned the duty of standing along street corners and fine these people for even for the most minor of offences. Perhaps we can come of driving these naniacs off the roads once and for all.
