Time to end the driving madness

We are very aware how dangerous it has become to drive on our roads today. 

People are getting away with murder, taking in the fact that half of these people have no licence, insurance or tax.

People are still using their phones, cutting people up, tailgating.

The situation we are in now has really become insane. Never has it been this bad. 

People don't care because there are no consequences.
