"Excessive speeding is among the three road killers and is a leading cause of road accidents in young people aged between 18 and 25."
No it isn't. Very few people have died from "Excessive Speed". Usually it's sudden deceleration that gets them... |

It is inappropiate speed that is being targetted not general speeding, for instance recently a new inexperianced driver hit an oncoming car on a country lane, he was doing 60 (but I wasn't speeding officer) and the oncoming car was doing about 20-25mph and had pulled over to the left and stopped before being hit both cars were written off and the drivers luckily only suffered minor injuries.
The driver who in court still denied he was at fault because he wasn't speeding and claimed it was a 50/50 fault crash was found guilty of driving without due care and attention, banned for six months and ordered to take an extended driving course. |

![]() Like the one not far from where we live. It was used by a young man to commit suicide last year.... pedal to the metal and smack! He died instantly (apparently) at a speed of over 160 km/h (100mph).
