just.a.thought Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Consistency in enforcing the traffic rules could save so many lives unfortunately there seems to be a lack of interest. Check points have little affect especially when they let people without helmets pass through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
