t was the then DP Transport Minister Henri Grethen who first came up with the vision of “tolerance zero”. Surprisingly, because calculated by a liberal politician, but at the first time a justified decision to emphasize that it was mixed with speed limits and also with alcohol consumption. Is that true even today, over 15 years later? Hand in hand: the vast majority of us have already traveled through a village with 52 kmh, and didn’t show themselves as major delinquents.
Imagine that, in other respects, we would be “proud of” zero tolerance “proud of, for example, in education! Minister Meisch could quickly wrap things up. But no, we are looking for the perfect man. So we stick to what the World Health Organization has recently stated: drinking more than 2 beers a week has a problem! Of course no one feels harassed here! And how about sleeping medication? Hmmh? I do not want to know how many people have already died – including in the street traffic,! Some cosmetic sprays can be explosive and should not interfere with Valise and the plane, we do however. Black labor is forbidden, but we do not report our cleaning lady! It is law that we must go; more and more of us are bragging about not doing so, so break the law. In winter, the sidewalks need to be salted, if any; that says a rule, but, we find it pupy! ASW —
“…There is no perfect man – fortunately – so not the perfect driver”
That is not to be understood as an appeal that again should be allowed to go through the towns, but simply an appeal to reason. Drivers who are far too fast should be taken away from the course;
but, whether I’m 50 or 51, the cat doesn’t make a dent. A driver who is “blown up” with 51 should, on the contrary, be praised for his near-perfect ride – he was only lying, if only for a second, about 2 percent above the permitted speed. Rowdy! Politicians should take their courage and take a tolerance of 6 percent; up to a speed of 53 hmh, nothing is written down. Then you don’t have to listen to tacho quite often, which can be dangerous!

n the meantime, the group moved almost all the way to Zone 30, except before the tower, there was crossed the zone to apply again after the tower. I therefore run at 28/29 kmh, only to reach 31. I was reading about a dozen cars behind me last night, with blinks and corn. Would it actually have been worse if I had been driven along the Tivesburg by 32 kmh ?! Every reasonable person there is the right answer.
If the politicians were so consistent with themselves, many would have had to take the hat!
