Last Tuesday(22 May, 2007), Ms. Juliet Huang from ACC delivered a lecture about safety when driving a car. Many cases showed that speeding was the main reason that caused people being killed in traffic accidents. Every year, there are around 1,000 New Zealand people who die of different sort of accidents, and half of people among them, i.e. 500, die of road accidents. Among the 500 death toll, one third are directly killed due to speeding. Higher speeding leads to more crashes, becasue its hard for the drivers to keep enough distance, and it is very easy to misjudge the situation. Speeding driving is absolutely the same with drinking driving. Hence, to avoid the accidents, reducing our speed is the key to keep safe. We cannot afford to beat the Law of Physics.
