It's the same old problem. It is not the vehicles that are the root of the problem. It is the persons responsible for driving them. I am referring to accidents and not excess traffic problem, another issue.
I am a firm believer that fear of punishment causes changes in personal behavior. When I was young spankings, and as I grew older the fear of losing my driving privilege, caused me to modify my behavior.
Now I know that the opponents of capital punishment will argue that it does not prevent crime. Based on the merits of that argument, I will not suggest capital punishment for traffic violations in San Pedro. Nor will I suggest spankings. As once again, the opponents of capital punishment would offer the argument that if a good looking police woman were to spank Pedro for not wearing his seat belt, it would probably not change his not wearing his seat belt - just the opposite.
But I do believe, that the enforcement of traffic laws thru fines and the loss of driving privileges would greatly improve the safety on the island.
