How many times do you feel as if you're driving too slow just because other drivers are overtaking you?.How many times do you feel that the speed limit is way to slow for you?. With today's technology, most of us are able to or afford to have powerful and efficient cars.We are easily carried away with this so call "luxury" and ignoring our own and family safety.This also happens to our public transport and cargo driver.What would be your opinion?

Hi Joe, i hate when drivers drives too fast, there is no need for it, if everyone abide by the speed law it will be safer on the road cars should be made with 70 mile mph and no more, I don't drive but my husband does and I am always telling to slow down even if he is doing the right speed. He says I nag, I never nag. Tamara

Hi Tamara,Sometimes it's the feeling that is causing the problem and you're influence by other drivers overtaking you. most of the time drivers have a feeling that they're driving too slow and tend to step on the accelerator.This is what i observe.

Hi there henryjoe! I learned to drive at a very young age. I have learned how to drive defensively since then. I do drive within the speed limit but when there's not much traffic and it is safe to drive beyond the speed limit, then I do. I never drive very fast when I have other people with me. I am concerned about their safety as well as mine.

Hi Zhao,It's good to hear that from this incident,you're driving more careful now However there will be some who will drive recklessly.Over here we renew our licens e once a year too.We do not have a point system whereby points will be deducted if caught speed violation which demerit a driver,instead we are fined if caught.There is a saying " Slow and steady win the race" Have a nice day :)
