Zakkwylde 5th Gear September 14, 2013 Share September 14, 2013 (edited) The video might be 15 minutes long but its totally worth it. It uses actual facts and logic to get rid of the notion that lower speed limits is the way to go. So what's your take on this? Should the speed limit be raised to eliminate the hoggers?

Hydrocarbon Turbocharged September 14, 2013 Share September 14, 2013 "" Anyone dring slower than you is an iDIOT , and anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC "" [laugh] [laugh] George Carlin is a legend! Anyway, I quite agree with the video. Something Jeremy Clarkson mentioned before. Speeding doesn't kill. What kills is suddenly becoming stationary.

Ysc3 Twincharged September 15, 2013 Share September 15, 2013 personally, i feel that one's senses are heightened when he is driving faster. can react fast and more appropriately (when not intoxicated). when i drive abit faster, my eyes are opened bigger. seems that one might feel that at higher speeds, he is the one who will perform all the "avoiding" turns. in contrast, the one who is slower will always expect others to see him and avoid him.

Watwheels Supersonic September 15, 2013 Share September 15, 2013 (edited) Based on my personal experience it depends on the car, driver, road conditions & traffic conditions. The faster a driver drives actually reduces his reaction time. It leaves less room for the driver to react. Even with the best brakes the car takes time to stop. Reaction time plus time to come to a halt, that time down to the millisecond may determine life or death situation. The faster a person drive the higher the risk of getting into trouble. It's just that drivers evaluate risk differently. LoL... All I can say is speed is one of the many factors for things to happen. It's quite impossible to predict what will happen on the roads.

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged September 15, 2013 Share September 15, 2013 For those whom claim that driving slow will improve reaction time/more alert on the road... Try to drive at 50km/hr at Changi Coastal Road through out the 70km/hr road limit... Then u-turn & try to drive at 90km/hr... U-turn one more time and repeat 50km/hr & 90km/hr... See which one will tired u faster... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade777 5th Gear September 15, 2013 Share September 15, 2013 (edited) Words of windom Speed or don't speed ? Most important drivers should not road hog and keep up with the flow of traffic. This is to provide space to other road users and not jam-up public roads. But many selfish people under the pretext of road speed limits hog the roads.
