[:Exige:]

Because speeding is the only cause of car accidents *sarcasm*

[bo9agr]

to be honest i don't think speeding is the Only cause for car accidents, i think stupid unskilled drivers who drive slowly on the left lane of the road are the main cause for accidents !!!

Speeding doesen't cause accidents. Bad driving and poorly maintained cars do.

Ever heard this fact:

Over 120 km/h every km you drive over it, the danger raises to the square.

People with a mentality like you are likely to hit a tree. They all think they are "perfect" drivers and will never crash. I've known one,but he is not with us anymore. A huge tree proved to be too difficult to dodge doing 200 km/h on a twisty 80 km/h road

PS: I've never understood the reason to photograph crashes,except for police or crash test investigation. What is so cool about others' misery ?

Aberdeenshire has the worst car accident rate in Scotland, too many over confident young males (i am one having had a pretty major accident in the area) on the twisty wet country roads. I regularly see holes in fences and pieces of headlamps/numberplates on my travels. These people where probably only doing 45-50 mph, but thats enough.

And people with a mentality like you think that because you're driving under the limit, you are invincible ... and thus are more likely to hit every other object that isn't a tree.

I think I'm a perfect driver? Even if the motorways here had no limit I still wouldn't drive my car at top speed, since I probably would cause a crash. I'm far from a perfect driver. But I suppose you had to assume since you don't really know me.

I don't get the point of posting wrecked garbages in which people may have died.

I take it you've never seen that skit by Dane Cook.

Hes not funny, but the skit is pretty accurate.

EDIT: actually found it

i totally agree, but when someone is doing 60 km/h on a 120 km/h lane he'll be more likely to cause an accident , right ?

No. Because the other drivers around him SHOULD be anticipating for the event. Now 99% dont,which causes the absolute chaos on the Dutch roads. It is worse than Italy nowadays

Probably partly due to the fact that when a motorist enters Aberdeenshire, they are overwhelmed for a split second by the number of vowels on the 'welcome' sign.
