Police blitz on right line |
|
The Transport Accident Division partner at Holding Redlich, Michael Lombard, believes the recently announced blitz on specific accident hotspots is exactly what should be happening to help stop injuries on the road. "When the road toll plummeted more than a decade ago, the general view was that hard hitting advertisements had made the difference", Michael Lombard said "but it was more than that. There ws a co-ordinated approach to reduce the road toll by Vicroads, TAC and the Police. They all worked together,"he said. "Vicroads would look at road accident hotspots and see if any road changes needed to be made, whilst the TAC would advertise in the specific area and the Police would crack down in the area. It was a brilliant arrangement that worked extremely well," Michael said. "It is hoped that this blitz works equally as well."
