What you're about to see will change your mind about speeding

(781 days ago)"There is more to speed than stopping distance" - Isn't that pretty much all he covered. My biggest wake up call was when cornering at speed, I didn't see a taxi parked on the side of the road until the last minute, lost control of the back wheels, nearly slid into oncoming traffic but somehow managed to regain control before anything serious happened. My stupidity and I've not made that mistake again since. Speeding is ok unless everyone's doing it, then there's trouble.

If he'd been going faster he would have got there before the truck. It works both ways.
Bad driving causes accidents - Not speed.

Should have turned the wheel and avoided the truck...

I've had a truck pull out in front of me just like in that video. I managed to swerve around it. Lucky for me nothing was coming the other way.

That was Christopher Reeves driving! A solid argument for enforcing a 15mph speed limit. Wait make it 10mph. Wait...

(779 days ago)Its simple, the faster you go, the greater your chances of not being able deal with objects in you path. No amount of good driving prevents shit from happening - as it almost always does. Driving carries a risk and as fallible as we all are, hope that our fellow road users will allow for this and it is arrogant to blame other road users for pulling out when we should simply drive within the prevailing conditions

Who approaches an intersection at 65? Why not slow down to 55 not hit the truck and then speed up to 100 when safe to do so?

(781 days ago)Change your name to Drives without thinking. What if it were not an intersection? How do you know it is safe to do 100? You thought it was safe to do 100 until it was too late and you hit the truck that pulled out on you... debris on the road... a kid?

No, speed is the dominant element in crashes and their outcomes, not bad driving.

Latest comment: Natural selection is a wonderful thing. Even after a clear demonstration the stubborn refuse to learn and repeat their mantra. They deserve what they get. It is when innocent people die you should then care.

I think most of you had the day off sick when they did the intelligence lesson at school. Speed kills - no debate?
