Instant double demerit points and a trip the local ICU to see the results of some of the accidents caused by these dangerous drivers.

Police research and long term studies clearly show that increasing the penalty doesn’t prevent crime. That’s because the ‘crims’ don’t think they will get caught, therefore the penalty isn’t a concern to them. What is a far more effective crime preventative measure is to increase the chance of getting caught, by putting more police on the roads.

Eden to Edrom swim
Well done. Maybe this could start a shore to shore yearly swim.
Jeanette Obri
A fantastic swim, but ever since I read about this, all I could think of was, sharks.
Roslyn Heather Davidson
Wow, now that is brave!
Alison Murphy
Whenever it was calm across the bay, my mum (Tugboat Annie) used to say it was a "swim to Edrom day" but I don't know anyone who actually did it.
Jenny Drenkhahn
How awesome is this. Congratulations to the swimmers, huge effort and awesome way to end the year!

I can only say that's absolutely wonderful for sufferers and their loved ones to have that extra burden taken off them.

All I can say is how do they get to that ridiculous price in the first place. Big pharma taking advantage of the sick.
