Speeding might give you a buzz and may seem fun but driving fast can be very dangerous. The Department of Transport are very clear on this matter "driving to fast is bad driving"
Driving at extreme speeds is the main cause in car accidents, statistics show that driving at 20mph involving an accident with a pedestrian there is a 1 in 40 chance the pedestrian will be killed. Driving at 30mph at this speed the pedestrian as a 1 in 5 chance of being killed. At 35mph there is a 1 in 2 chance and at 40mph the pedestrian as a 9 in 10 chance of being killed.
Every year speed is the vital factor in over 1000 fatal car accidents yet 65% of people in the UK still drive at very high speeds, despite 84% of the population disapproving of it.
Speeding is more common in young people despite only 1 in 10 drivers under the age of 25 this group signifies the highest percentage of fatal car accidents in relation to speeding.
Speeding might be fun but it is seriously dangerous and illegal to do so and if caught you can face imprisonment and loose your licence!
