- you've had enough of the present
system... sick of the Government treating you like a mug... targeting the law-abiding majority...
instead of serious offenders and illegal drivers...
|
- you think the Authorities should listen to
what people actually want... rather than trying to impose various systems
that they clearly don't want...
|
- you are a high-mileage driver... fearful of losing
your licence/job to
the speed cameras under the present system... no matter how safely you drive...
|
- you abhor the very idea of the 'State' taking control of
your vehicle.... using G.P.S. technology to
physically prevent your vehicle from exceeding speed limits. [A system the E.U. would
like to see introduced in all member States by 2010.]
|
- you do not want the State or
Insurance companies monitoring and recording every journey you make...
|
- for purely altruistic reasons... i.e.
you actually believe this type of
system would save lives... that it would create a better society if
people felt they were an important part of it...
|
- groups who might find some
benefits... Driving Enthusiasts: Safety Campaigners:
Pro-car Groups: Anti-car Groups: Insurance Companies: Manufacturers:
Politicians: Emergency Services: Medical Groups: Cyclists: Motorbike
Riders: Horse Riders. etc. etc.
|
- in fact... people of almost any age and living in any Country.
It is possible to have safe roads... and yet still be able to enjoy the
driving experience... without having the 'State' watching your every move.

The Project... our
Long-term Objectives.
|
|
I
|
- to publicize and promote the
Concept of using Technology as a means of empowering the Individual: and
local Communities: [rather than concentrating power into the hands of the
State:] right across the Industrialised World... through an Online...
Interactive Project.
|
- to develop and promote a system which utilizes the power of the Internet...
Information Technology: and Modern Communications... to harness the Skills
and Knowledge of experienced Drivers.
|
-
to further develop and refine a system which is based on the concept of using
'Information' as the principal force for changing driver behaviour... instead of
relying on various forms
of Punishment.
|
- to develop a range of
Strategies for dealing with the problem of High-Risk Individuals, based
on... Motivation: Deterrents: Targeted Education: Social Pressure:
Enforcement: and Punishment.
|
- to develop a multi-strategy approach for dealing
with the problem of High-Risk Road Cultures... [in both Industrialized and
under-developed countries.]
|
- to
provide the framework and facilities in order to become the 'Hub' of a Network of
Communities... and to provide a Forum for discussing innovative new
Ideas.
|
- to put all the various options into the
Public Domain... where they can be scrutinized and compared with any other
system... so that people end up with a system that they actually want!
|
- ultimately... to reduce the current level of Road Accidents: Injuries: and
Deaths... by
engaging Drivers and Communities in a pro-active way.
