As an observer of your efforts to effect better road safety behaviour, here is a suggestion to bolster your efforts to help realise your goal of reducing the carnage on the streets.
It would seem to me that a programme for at-risk drivers to be better certified would be one such to consider in conjunction with the insurance industry and the Jamaica Race Drivers Club, and affiliated organisations.
Insurance data would identify any such information to identify who would be the best to need this type of certification. Insurance companies that are customer oriented do provide incentives for better driver performance with better rates.
Slogans are important as a start and are to be commended as an effort in the right direction. It would have Jamaica as one of the first to put into effect for the world to emulate a driver certification for at-risk drivers in addition to your advertising slogans.
For any funding requirement, should there be any other than the insurance industry underwriting any orchestrated effort to reduce insurable risk, I would imagine that the international aid agencies from which you have a host to choose, could collectively support this type of an effort at road safety, which could be emulated by their own countries.
On the whole, the driving public would benefit from better certification for driving performance, which the driver's licence test is not comprehensive enough in practice to substantiate.
A coordinated, streamlined effort in conjunction with the Jamaica Automobile Association, the Jamaica Automobile Dealers Association, the Jamaica Used Car Dealers Association, the Jamaica Race Drivers Association and the Jamaica Millennium Motoring Club contribute significantly to the programme of road safety by administering a certification programme for at-risk drivers.
You now have two locations that are conducive to providing the facilities for drivers to better understand their machines and how to handle them for better safety results.
It is understandable that you are putting together a pot of large egos, but with the required level of professionalism and decorum, they can be stewed together so that everyone can benefit with a better trained driving public, better insurable risks and a saving of lives. Any effort to improve standards with the right exposure and any
effort to stimulate more civility should be encouraged.
