Just police the road laws which we already have

From V Evans
OF late, it seems that the powers that be want to change everything rather than deal with the problems themselves.
Speed limit? To a minority there is no speed limit in St Helier, take it from one who lives bang in the middle of it. Why change something that doesn’t exist? And, even if it did exist in some obscure legislation hidden behind a counter where no one can see it, what is the point I ask? Who will monitor it? Who monitors it now? No one at all.
Please, just police existing speed limits Islandwide – catch and punish the minority.
Charge bicycle riders to use the road? Ho, ho, ho, believe me, as a pedestrian, I will pay the minority of bicycle riders myself to use the roads.
No, no, no, I say, please charge them to use the pavements instead, much better idea, and easier to monitor as they splatter the pedestrians as they fly past, ipods in ears, accompanied by transparent blindfolds, charge the minority £50 for use of pavement and £100 each time they flatten someone who has the audacity to be walking on the same. Come on guys, just ‘police’ and punish the minority of cyclists instead of penalising the majority.
Change can well be, at times, the only answer, but it should never be used as a weapon against everyone because someone somewhere is not doing the job properly.
Or as a ‘cop-out’ because resources are not available to police the same. Instead of wasting money on new laws, use the money to police the ones we have now. If we can’t afford to police it now, we won’t be able to police it if it changes will we?
