The Aussies are on the right track.
They work on the sound and well proven principle that ''people don't do what's expected, they do what's inspected''.
The Brits tried to have road users wear their safety belts voluntarily for years with expensive advertising. The 'jingles' such as 'clunk-click every trip went pretty much unheeded.It was amazing the number of people who knew of a road accident where the vehicle went on fire, the occupants couldn't escape due to being strapped in by their seat belts and were burnt to death. There must have been 1000s of such incidents every week
Then we had the public information broadcasts and visual advertisements about the dangers of using cell phones while driving.
The whole campaign was a waste of money.
People continued to use their phone against expert advice and tried to rationalize their reckless behaviour with such pathetic counter-arguments such as, using a mobile is no different to talking to someone in the back seat.
Once the appropriate law was passed and vigorously enforced the use of cell phones while driving declined dramatically.
Then of course we have the ''drunk drivers'' who are always, okay to drive.
The covid-19 crisis is proof-positive that the average person needs to be TOLD WHAT TO DO as, due to their thick skulls they are incapable of figuring things out for themselves.
*EUROPE IS NOW THE GLOBAL EPICENTRE OF COVID-19 WITH THE U.K., RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE LEADERS.
Well said there Mint-tea, let's hope the two contenders adopt your voice of reason and recognize the absolute necessity to put America and all its people above party politics.
During this campaign it seemed to me that neither contestant had the best interests of their nation at heart but were absorbed with their own over inflated egos.
Donald Trump is, in my opinion an unfit for purpose President but should Biden be successful, and it looks as though he will be, his side kick, Kamala will very quickly take the reins and have the U.S., on its knees with illegal immigrants in no time at all.
This election seemed to offer two choices;- one was to opt for disease and deadly civil unrest and the other to lay the foundation for the inevitable break up of United States and the instantaneous flight of those wealth/job creating American corporations to other, more politically stable nations and the ensuing desperate poverty.
LET'S HOPE THE ELECTORATE CHOOSE WISELY.
It looks as though the mischievous agitators will have a field day here as such a closely contested battle will make for the perfect breeding ground for the rabble-rousing filth of both sides to incite the less intelligent sections of their supporters to engage in civil unrest and violent clashes.
IT'S TIME FOR THE YANKS TO WAKE UP AND SMELL WHAT IT IS THEIR POLITICAL LEADERS ARE SHOVELING.
No, the loser should further divide the nation by refusing to accept the result of this democratic election just as the Democrats did in 2016 and continue to do so to this day.
This way the U.S., can continue to entertain the rest of the world with its, very colourful, Hillys vs the Billys type self destructive mud slinging.
HE WHO THROWS MUD LOSES GROUND.
Well, if she wasn't in politics she'd be a double ''bagger''.
That is the compulsory wearing of two bags over the face and head in case one falls off.
ROARS OF LAUGHTER FROM THE BACK STALLS.
MAN,MAN OH MAN, I'M REALLY ENJOYING THIS.
I CAN SEE THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE EARS OF THE LOONY LEFTIES AS THEY LIE ON THE FLOOR KICKING AND WRITHING HAVING ONE OF THEIR NUMEROUS TANTRUMS.
HEY, THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH. I'LL HAVE TO EASE BACK ON THESE POOR SUCKERS.
These young chaps will run wild from time to time and must be allowed to satisfy their youthful exuberance.
It would be most jolly well discourteous of us not to gladly endure their rather irritating custom of murdering the citizens of their host nations.
We should accept such a small price to pay for the overall good they bring to the shores of our primitive and backward societies.
LETS HEAR IT FOR DIVERSITY;-
HIP-HIP HORAY, HIP-HIP HORAY, HIP-HIP HORAY.
THAT'S THE SPIRIT.
We must accept that these poor misguided young men have been radicalized and are dedicated to spreading their religious beliefs and political dogma even if that involves slaughtering all those non believers/infidels.
That's fair enough, isn't it?
Despite Muslim terrorists murdering civilians from time to time, Maiming and disabling hundreds of others we must recognize how their presence has lifted the United States and Europe out on the dark ages and opened the door to knowledge, technological advancement as well as tolerance.
YES SIREE BOB, WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT THESE MUSLIMS CHOSE CHRISTENDOM TO WRECK AND RUIN.
The answer is;- it's on YouTube in wonderful CinemaScope, dazzling Technicolor and booming stereophonic sound, for all those with open minds to see and hear.
Now go and watch this cringeworthy piece of disgraceful irresponsibility by your loony leftist hero.
