A call-in to Today Voices Live Show

I was invited by Today "Voices" talk show to be their "live" caller on the topic: "Have our roads become more dangerous?"


Personally, I must say it was quite an interesting experience, almost surreal.  Mid-way, I stumbled.  Hearing your voice live does give one the jitters.

The discussion seemed to focus on putting the blame on a particular group or groups of users, e.g. heavy vehicles or car drivers.  I believe if we continue to finger-point, it's likely to result in more rules, more fines, more disgruntled users.

With an increasing population, are we trading off speed (in the name of productivity) for safety?  I do hope that we will not have to face a disastrous accident before we make safety a priority.
