Commenting on "Go hi-tech to lower road toll”

Many road accidents resulting in fatality are more than just head-on collision or side collision. Mangled car bodies wrapped round trees or multi-car pile-up are unlikely to be prevented with new technology installed on those vehicles.
New technology in cars may save some lives, but will cause a false sense of security and new set of automotive problems. Tipsy, dopy and sleepy drivers will be driving with poor judgement, trusting the technology will correct their inability to control such lethal weapon on the road.
Responsible drivers are seldom the ones need training on advance / defensive driving techniques or technological gadgetry. In fact, most accidents are not caused by vehicle malfunction or lack of technological aids, but drivers’ failings - the result of present era’s society ills – lack of respect towards almost everything, including human lives.
Drivers under the influence of alcohol, even haven't caused any accident yet, should be banned from driving between 3 to 5 years, depending on the blood alcohol readings. Any driving culprits who cause other people immense pain and suffering should be sent to prison for at least 30 years.
