A 67-year-old male driver lost his life when his small car was destroyed by a speeding truck.

The truck was allegedly stolen, and Police had failed to stop it using ‘stop sticks’.

Apart from the ‘stop sticks’ being old problematic technology, we need to look further as to why this life was wasted and what systematic failures contributed to the death.

The ability of police to intercept dangerous vehicles safely must be addressed, and new technologies capable of stopping a vehicle must be legitimately explored.

The CAA has long advocated for the introduction of the G-Tag see  https://caainc.org.au/the-g-tag-a-new-…community-safety/ ...
