Speeding: Lane and Speed Limit
Speeding
Speeding is a serious offence. Obey the speed limit. Did you know on average 5 people die every day in the UK because of speeding? You might just be running late for a meeting or just wanting to go fast. Wouldn’t you rather be late or just slow down? Instead, you’re risking your life and the lives of others. Speeding is the most common and dangerous offence on our roads.
Road safety has significantly improved. However, there is an average of 5 deaths a week. That number is way too high and everyone should do their bit to reduce it. Speed cameras have been introduced to catch speeders, this method has worked. Drivers are now more aware and slow down; this is because of the brutal fine or the annoying 3 points. Before speed cameras, you could enjoy racing down country lanes at 80mph but now there’s a camera round every corner. Better brakes have been researched; these have saved the lives of thousands of people. They advertise new cars with all these new parts but the brakes are a vital component of the car. Clearer road marking are a cheap and easy way off reducing crashes on our roads. Drivers now know what lane to go into, it’s so easy for new drivers. The best way to reduce fatalities from speeding is to wear a seatbelt. This has saved the lives of many people. You might think your only popping round the corner to a friends but you always crash when you’re least expecting it. Also, people who are caught speeding are normally caught within 5 miles of their home.
You might be thinking, why am I telling you all this? Well, I was caught speeding just down the road from my house; I was doing 46mph in a 40mph zone. It was at 10:38 on an April morning. I was running late, everyone runs late these days, no-ones ever early!
I went to one of those speeding courses, it lasted for four hours – I didn’t even need to go – I’m an amazing driver. I was sitting there with the kind of people I didn’t really expect to be there. There was; old people, I
