It has been clear for a long time that speed is not onviously such a major factor, observing the way that others drive is a learning experience and not a
pretty one.
I rarely exceed the speed limit and am well aware of anger, aggression and impatience on the road.
Perhaps we should concentrate on alcohol abuse, following distances, competence
and attention.
This Speed kills arguement have never resinated with me. If this was the
case why do we have motorways? Sure there are alot less exits and entries
and no traffic that go across your path.
The real question is, given the conditions what is a safe speed to drive?
(and why?) Often driving at the legal limit will be driving in an unsafe manner.
We do need to get a culture of the road is shared now we have to drive in
such a way that no one gets killed or injured. Accept the fact that people
make mistakes, and this is not an reason for a bout of road rage.
This whole subject is complex and the one solgan approach does not work in
the same way the "If you drink don't drive" did.
We have to remember that this are days of woke, times when ideal logical thinking rules the way of thinking. All these speed sign reduction are a part of this one ieda to rule them all.
