    "hit & run" has become a norm today. It is very easy to monitor the roads with CCTV cameras. Use modern technology to catch the culprits. Request public to help the victims.

    Instead of wasting money on CCTV's and modern tech. can't the government have proper road signs, footpaths, speed limits. No doubt this will provide business opportunities to supply and monitor and employment opportunities, but whose going to pay for all these added costs???? Wouldn't it be far better if all drivers and pedestrians use the roads responsibly and most importantly follow rules? Most of us are to be blamed ...... Mea Culpa!
