Black Spot

22 May 2010 - The Hong Kong police are likely to stop using the term "traffic black spot" after a fatal crash in town exposed differences in the way the police and the HK Transport Department define them. Instead of using "black spot", the force will consider using "traffic accident spots that the police are interested in or concerned about", an officer from NT south regional headquarters told a meeting. Talk of change in terminology comes after the police described Monday's crash site as a 'black spot', while the Department said it was not. This may sound like a scene from Monty Python or so - but it is the reality in Hong Kong in 2010. I would say to the Police "go, go, go & catch thieves".
