It is so obvious, the faster a collision occurs the worse the accident will be.

Wake up to yourselves, the public roads are not racetracks.

All sorts of people drive on our roads. There's the car nut who thinks his Brocky to the little old lady, all have different levels of skill.

We all need to drive on the same roads so we all need to cooperate. We must consider others. The public road system is for transport only. Yes we can enjoy a drive just for the sake of if, but there's no need to speed.

Driver's skill is very important, but even the best drive will make a mistake without the involvement of any other driver. He will make the mistake all on his own. Once the mistake has occurred the inevitable collision will happen. Better to be going slow when it does.

Sadly one of our best known and loved drivers died because he made a mistake at high speeds. A race is a race and the drivers all know the risks involved.

Yes I have got a couple of speeding fines for just being slightly over the limit. In all cases the speed cameras were correct. I was being careless in not keeping a close watch on my speed. I was fined and so I should have.
