ke382TG Forums Junkie Registered: May 2002	Re: 122km/h in a 60km/h zone. Thu, 28 October 2004 06:05 Quote: i would like to point out that not all accidents happen because of speeding. drivin slow interstate would only lower ur concentration level (in general), and it is safer to speed AT TIMES. I agree and wasn't implying that this is the case either. I think that most smart people know that lots of crashes are caused by: Lack of experience and skill by drivers (regardless of speed, things can go wrong at any speed i.e. car park crashes at 10km/h ) Being tired, drive the Hume Hwy in the evening between Canberra and Melbourne and watch how many cars wander all over the road as they push on trying to complete their 8 hour drive while falling asleep. Also take note of how many sections of road side armco have enormous recent damage without a single skid mark before the hit, someone fell asleep?? Driving beyond ones abilities and the "abilities" of their vehicle is another big factor. Driving my commuter car (which is completely roadworthy and stock) I would not have a hope in hell of avoiding multiple objects at 100km/h if a problem occured (eg a 2 car accident on the road as you came over a crest), but in my "toy" car the same situation would not present as much of a problem, so I drive each car accordingly. I know what you mean about driving slow and losing concentration, falling asleep etc. I do a lot of long trips up and down the East coast and at times it can be hard to focus when the drive gets boring and "slow". I am usually lucky enough to be able to swap drivers or take a 10 minute power nap (they do help for a bit). The other big problem is just plain old being taken out by some moron and not having a single thing you can do about it (had this happen) Common sense is the key in all this (just a pity that common sense appears to be on the decline), 130km/h on a 3 lane Hwy with little or no traffic, whilst alert, in a car with reasonable handling and brakes is obviously no real issue (unless you drive past Mr Plod). But the same scenario whilst tired, or weaving through heavy traffic, or driving a clappped out 120Y with blown shocks and poorly maintained brakes is another story (the 120Y is probably not a good example for doing 130km/h ) Just remember it's not the speed that kills it's the sudden stop when you hit something that will probably do it!
