No it isn't the only thing that they could come up with. Its just the easier to not do anything, but instead shift responsibiltiy elsewhere ( to the motorist) rather than take the reigns and show a bit of leadership and foresight and come up with good policy to actually fix the issue.

You said it yourself. The roads are crap and the driving standard is crap. Crushing cars isn't fixing either of those issues.

The right move would be to improve roads somewhere closer to the standards that other 1st world countries enjoy and increase the level of driver training. Best of both worlds then as speed limits on opened roads could be increased in line with better road conditions and driver competency. Better trained drivers also would do less silly things in built up areas. Win win!

They're just not interested in a real solution though because that costs money. Better to keep the status quo, collect heaps of revenue from minor offences and make an example of the odd one by crushing a car or two, or at least threatening to. It wont lower the road toll but it gets peoples attention and appeases the wowser vote into thinking that GovCo are doing something about it all.
