Spotted this article buried on the BBC website.
Slightly encouraging and yet rather depressing at the same time.
"Evidence has shown that regular risky and illegal drivers do not acknowledge the risk they present, or view their own actions as illegal or having any real social impact," he said.
Along with-
A recent study stated that almost three-quarters of all drivers admitted to risky driving behaviour in the last 12 months and more than half of those admitted to illegal behaviour in relation to speeding, mobile phones and seatbelt use.
And this explains a lot-
There is a common perception among offenders that offences are committed by others, but not by themselves.
And finally, not that I would ever go on to the EEN but I have always wanted to point this out to the people who complain "why don't the police go after real criminals?"
However, it is worth remembering that in 2012, 174 people died on our roads - three times more than the homicide rate.
Because real criminals don't kill nearly as many people? ::-(
