People who sit at the road blocks do NOTHING. Next new year i will post a video to show how hard working they are. Eating sleeping and drinking water. Crazy. Total waste of time

4 in 7 days, about the daily average.

You may be right in general, but if the list of infractions and fines given in the original article is true, somebody must have been doing some work this time around. Kudos.

If and I say IF it help to let Police volunteers sitting on the side doing totally nothing about traffic control but being busy with their Line, Facebook, what ever account, eating and drinking but the amount of death in traffic accidents go down I would say: Can you please let them sit down their every day and night.

 

It is worth one less death.
