Do we as drivers once we have past our test decide to ignore
the rules taught to us? I believe this may to true to an extent. I witness this
on every day whilst carrying out my job as a DVSA Driving Coach. Speed limits
tend to be the biggest offence followed closely is inpatients.
This year alone there have been 4/5 serious accidents
between Banbury and Daventry, an 18 mile stretch of road. Two of witch on the
same corner, one sadly fatal!
So where is the safe little box? When we are in our car most
of us feeling safe, and some feel as if they cannot be hurt, true to an extent,
we are safe from the elements, and our surroundings. When we are safe we gain
confidence and then here is where it turns into a problem. We are also so busy
in modern life that we race around and make not extra time, then again we can
speed. If this is you then the
percentages say that at some point you will be involved in an accident.
For some they seem to feel they are right and the speed
limits are only there for show, or the rules of the road are only for learners,
this type of driver I feel is the most dangerous of all, and sadly the one I
see the most of daily!
All I would say is that in the end the speed will get you or
someone close, please slow down and enjoy life.
It is true to say that there is not enough enforcement of
traffic laws, i.e. police officers, speed camera’s etc., to slow people down.
