Rule 3: Say no to speed!
Why to drive fast? How many times are we really desperately in need of driving fast?
We really don’t have any obvious reason; we just do it deliberately for overtaking other vehicles, or without realizing the growing speed. Whatever may be the case, the risk of collision always persists. Speed driving increases the risk of collision in two ways: one, it cuts your reaction time. Two, it results in more stored energy that must be dispelled in any collision.
Let’s listen to what science says: “Each incremental increase in speed reduces our ability to react in time to hazards, because we are covering distances in lesser time than what it takes to react.” It worsens while driving at night; since darkness substantially reduces our visibility.
Experienced and sensible drivers keep themselves at a speed that matches with the traffic and never exceed or slow under.
Does speeding really save much time?
In most of the cases, we find the car who took us over about half a mile back to be waiting at the next red light.
It doesn’t save much time, does it?
Say no to speed!
