Make as many excuses (as terrible as those excuses are) as you want, it is nobody's fault except the immature and low-character parents who don't know how to behave themselves. Period.
SCL you clearly don't understand the basic premise of the carbon tax. It isn't that difficult, and has been shown to work. That being said, Doug Ford chose to end cap and trade and instead chose carbon tax for Ontario. If you want an alternative strategy, talk to him.
I am all for promoting safe driving, but this initiative is moot if there is no actual enforcement of the laws on the roadway. Is there any evidence that the reason people aren't driving better on this roadway is because they are not deterred by the standard fine? If not, this is completely useless. It would seem to make more sense to increase enforcement in the area if there are safety concerns, and if that doesn't prove effective, THEN strategies for increasing the fine could be explored.
