MR en PS hebben wél een alternatief plan om de verkeersveiligheid op te krikken. Met bijvoorbeeld hogere boetes voor wie op een parkeerplaats voor mensen met een beperking staat, of het afschaffen van de tolerantiemarges bij snelheidscontroles of meer trajectcontroles.

I wonder how many people have been injured or died by someone unlawfully parking in a handicapped spot. Not that this wouldn't be a good measure on its own.

Ze zijn vooral bang dat ze kiezers gaan verliezen. Er sterven dus mensen op de weg, vermijdbare doden, omdat zij weigeren om maatregelen te nemen om de verkeersveiligheid te verbeteren

The article doesn't mention their official arguments against the policy, couldn't find the equivalent article on rtbf either, but it would be nice to know their reasoning to block this.

No English version on vrt yet so posting the Dutch version.

EDIT: Can barely see the quote markup so italicized as well.

Puntensysteem? Wat is dit, China?

Yeah I'm not really a fan of this anyway

Eh. I'm not a fan because I'm afraid I'll run into it sooner or later 😇

Objectively speaking, however, i do think it's a good idea to automatically increase the hit for repeat offenders; the crux is going to be what leads to point subtraction.
