Dear Mario, Thank you for the kind words. Going by the response I received on this forum, I feel the issue has generated thought, now just on Goanet but in Goa.
As you say, if each one of us sets an example - whether on the road or with the pen - Goa will certainly slow down on this madness and who knows, may start turning to be a safer place. We cannot help the way people elect their government (unless of course we are willing to jump into the cesspool, as once by happenstance I did - and rescued myself at first opportunity) but we certainly must press, like a Portuguese friend said in a private mail, for *mindful and sensible lawmaking; skillful, but stronghanded, enforcement.* I am, by the way, a hopeless optimist.
