Simon Corbell is celebrating a rolling year since Canberra’s last road fatali. Simon credits RAPID for the change, which certainly has the capacity to remove the threat posed by the worst of the worst:
“There are many factors which have contributed towards this result, including, increased driver awareness, advances in technology and increased police patrols targeting traffic offences, I have no doubt that the introduction of RAPID has had an impact.”
The ACT Government funded RAPID (Recognition and Analysis of Plates IDentified) capability was introduced in July 2010 and since then has detected 1015 unlicensed drivers and 4295 unregistered or uninsured vehicles.
