fast not equal dangerous? give me a break la if you want to argue about this...say this to RCMP and they'll tell you lots of stories! Even world champ Senna (F1 driver) died hitting a wall at 300+ km/h...
Fast IS dangerous, more so if the driver is inexperience! The chances of getting into a FATAL accident is much higher...the problem is that people don't know how bad their car's brakes are until they hit 140+ km/h....try to stop from 140+ to a dead stop and see how far you slide.... The driver is only one of the many factors that can cause an accident

fast doesn't mean dangerous and slow doesn't mean safe.
Exactly...but of course, don't be too fast on the street though...no matter what kind of accident have happened, it makes you loss money...which is not too good...at least for me...
"Know your limit, play within it"...the experience and skill of the driver is very important too.
To the top question. you have to fight for it in the court, otherwise, that ticket should be valid... since they have it in their computer record...
原帖由 yungfourfour 於 2008-7-7 22:23 發表 and what's your point for "accidents happen when people drive slow"?
ot~
this is sooooo true
I got into an accident two weeks ago (100% other party's fault) cause I was driving too slow (30-40kmph) if I was going at least 50 then it wouldn't have happened!
But that doesn't mean I encourage speeding. We should just.. drive at the right speed
drive with sense and reason wrt traffic volume and traffic flow around you. Those who blindly believe in the speed limit without consideration for the dynamically changing environments around are ignorant at best, let alone being good drivers or respectful drivers.
speed limit are designed to penalize and profit, safety is merely a convenient bi-product...... it probably safer to set the speed limit at a speed closer to what drivers drive in reality than forcing a certain people amount of 'blind' ppl to drive much slower than the average traffic flow. drivers that drive significantly faster than average traffic are a source of danger, so are the ones that are significantly slower tho (encourages passing, road rage). Those who slows n stay on the left should be shot.....

I respect everyone, even though I drive slowly, but I don't understand why drive fast is not respect other on the road. Please be respect !
if you drive fast in a way that violates the limits and consider options other than paying the violation, where's should I squeeze out my respect?
