IT MAKES sound economic sense to invest in road safety. But the Government has not got the message. Ministers and their officials at the Departments of Finance and of Justice have yet to deliver on the introduction of speed cameras. And motorists continue to drive recklessly, resulting in high levels of mortality and injury. The economic cost in terms of lost production and health charges is enormous. The emotional, financial and social impact on the families concerned is dreadful.
