I last wrote about the death scene on Goa roads and suggested what ought to
be done about it, perhaps four years ago. However, all I have noted is the
increase in the death rate on Goa's road with no indication whatsoever of
any decline.
I have therefore concluded that the only thing that might work is if there
are severe punitive measures for infractions of rules on the road. However,
things are so bad that even this would take time to work.
Thanks for your concern about this matter.

Subject: [Goanet] Traffic Safety In School Syllabus /Melinda Coutinho Powell
Hi all,
The Government is considering Road Safety as part of the syllabus in
schools
and colleges.Wonderful.But by the time this becomes a reality, several
more
youth would have lost their lives.I cant help being skeptical ,we need
action not talk.Soon this will be a forgotten topic unless we all write
/email the Director of Transport and the Traffic Police ,that education in
road safety is a priority.
At the monthly consumers Traffic meeting at Margao Police Station ,this
month the topic of RSP(Road Safety Patrol) in schools came up.
There were various excuses from the Traffic Police - they need to impart
training to school students.The only way to get things done is by being
persistent ,so we shall bring up the topic again and again ,till we get
some
action.
Cheers,
Melinda Coutinho Powell
