"For the record" allows the community to read about the views of the TAC on current issues.
For the record, I strongly disagree with hypnotherapist Dean Frenkel’s opinion that the TAC’s fatigue campaigns may have become a contributor to increased driver fatigue and road trauma (“We should wake up to hypnotic road signs” Herald Sun, 4 June). In fact, research proves that the opposite has occurred and The Herald Sun recently reported that TAC payments to cyclists from 2007 to 2012 were $558 million and pedestrian payments were $165 million. These figures were reported in reverse order. It should have reported that pedestrian payments were $558 million and cyclist costs were $165 million. Read the Herald Sun We acknowledge the Robinson family’s courage, in sharing the experience of losing their son with the community. The Robinsons were the integral part of our Ripple Effect campaign and Mr Robinson continues to be involved with the TAC. Mr Robinson has recently completed a telephone claim interview for nervous shock. The TAC does not condone or accept any driving that breaches the road rules. Given that we deal with road trauma on a day to day basis, TAC employees should know better than anyone else, the dangers associated with speeding. Any TAC employee who speeds is undermining the road safety The TAC is extremely disappointed that Mr Warne has been convicted of speeding. Speeding is unacceptable, particularly at this high level of speed, more than 50 km/h over the speed limit. We know that speeding is a leading cause of road trauma. Choosing to speed shows a complete disregard forFor the record - In response to Dean Frenkel - 04 Jun 2013
