We must drive well, not slowly

FOR FARTOO LONG speed has been attributed as the cause of motor accidents, particularly 'excessive' speed.This strikes at the emotions, but is it factual?
I suggest that bad driving contributes most to the problem whether driving quickly or slowly. Some of this bad driving arises from sheer frustration as a result of differential speed limits in heavy traffic.
Without qualification, the word 'excessive' has little meaning and can be demonstrated not to be true by the world of Formula 1 racing.
Using emotive terminology brainwashes the general public into believing it is the sole cause of the problem.
The accident statistics that are available in the public arena clearly demonstrate that the rate of accidents per million vehicles taxed has dropped tremendously over the years.
When I started in this industry I managed to infringe the legislation by travelling at 21mph uphill and was subsequently charged for exceeding the 20mph speed limit. Legislation can be changed.A campaign for this would be a long haul, but common sense would eventually prevail.
