Driver behaviour

This is at least the fourth accident on this bit of road in the past week, not to mention another this morning on the Eastern Link. There is nearly no police presence on these roads and driver behaviour reflects that. We also have a lot of unroadworthy vehicles in the area which used to be taken off the roads, however the police don't appear to be interested in doing that anymore.

Shouldn't need a police presence for decent driver behaviour. We have a lot of arrogant drivers on the road that have no idea how to drive to the conditions, from having lights on for visibility at certain times, unable to merge sensibly, tail gating, passing just to be the first in the line of traffic etc. Then there is the opposite end where people are now taught to drive slower to avoid the arrogant driver making a mistake, or scared on the road or lack confidence/knowledge and can't drive to the speed limit, thus the arrogant driver becomes even worse! Police presence won't stop idiots from being idiots.
