Petition update, 11 July 2008

More details from petition creator

A recent group on ‘Facebook’ that outlined the number of people who do not know how to use the motorway correctly (by staying in the middle lane) currently has 20,681 members!

This is an alarming number with a very simple solution:

Signs along the motorway, even next to ‘Tiredness can kill’ signs saying ‘Keep left unless overtaking’.

Australia and New Zealand already have these signs and having driven around both of these countries, the signs seem to work well.

We can of course change the way the drivers in this country are taught, but what about all the other drivers that can already drive? Or even foreigners visiting the country?

I believe that by placing signs along the motorway would prove more effective than trying to change the way drivers are taught. Let alone the cost.

I feel the signs would: a) reduce motorway congestion b) reduce accidents c) reduce ‘road rage’

I hope you will seriously consider this proposal.

Yours Sincerely,

Cheryl Farnden
