Cut off from my family

Early 2009 the central government in Denmark introduced new speed traps. They are unmanned and consist only of a pillar placed near the road with a camera.

Now I have to use a full day to visit my family. I live in the northern part of Sealand and my family lives in the southern part.

Thanks God for the internet. I will try to visit them once or twice per year.

However I am not alone. A lot of families are broken up due to this new ban in traffic outside the high ways.

I dont know why they suddenly would interfere in a lot of people lives in that way. It is not only family being forced to break up. It is also a question about infrastructure. This is going to cost jobs! Several experts are talking of about 250,000 - 500,000 people out of job in January 2010.

Why? We know about the dangers on our roads. We accept that mobility cost lives. We don't expect living very long and there is no reason for it when they have cut in the early retirement and the politicians refers to retired people as the burden of elderlies.

Totally unaccepted. Nothing else.
