  1. Why repeat? We all know that if you drive fast you may end up in an accident and the solution to this, is to drive within the speed limits… Now, do you agree that speed does not kill? It is moronic lack of thought that kills, inattention that kills and disregard to fellow human beings that kills but not speed!! What do you think? TRANSPORTATION TUESDAY Speed!This topic is always repeated…. Driving faster can lead to disaster

  2. Driving fast- where the danger lies Most people like to drive fast. It is common amongst teenagers and young adults. Sometimes experienced drivers also feel that they are in control. To a certain extent you can say that speed does not kill, that is only if you are fully aware of your actions and if you can control your vehicle. Inevitably, no matter how skilled or careful you are, there is always the possibility of the unexpected happening to you and your vehicle.

  3. The driver struck a pole while driving fast. Is speed really dangerous? Visualise this. If the vehicle was travelling at low speed and strikes the pole, the driver faces minimum damage and survives. At high speed the damage is catastrophic. Remember speed increases the stopping distance. If you drive too fast, you may not be able to stop in time to avoid a crash.

  4. Determine the appropriate speed • Try maintaining the speed limit but if you decide go a • little beyond, maintain situation awareness. • Constantly scan your mirrors and gauges. Try not to • have your music too loud. This way you can listen to • your vehicle as you drive. • Drive at moderate speed and use your judgement • whilst driving in traffic. Driving too slow can obstruct • traffic and driving too fast can increase the • chances of a serious accident. • Seat belts save lives. So remember to • buckle up. Consider these factors…

  5. Determine the appropriate speed • Your speed should be based on visibility, traffic, road • and weather conditions. If you have to get to a destination • at a certain time, plan ahead and give yourself time • to reach there without having to drive fast. • Check your tyres before you drive. Worn out tyres • can lead to an accident, especially when speeding. • Consider the speed of other vehicles. Adjust your speed • so that you do not collide. Let them proceed if • they are on the same lane. It might be annoying • but try not to competeorget angry. • Life is too precious for that! Consider these factors…

  6. Time is money but life is precious Take your time, not your life
