For all the safety crusaders here.

Firstly, I'm not in favor of anyone speeding.
Me, I go about 5mls/hr over the posted speed
limit.

That said, here we go.

Unless you NEVER speed, and I mean
never(not even when the posted speedlimit is
under 25), I wouldn't come down as hard on others
speeding.
We all at sometime or another have sped and
some like me do it everyday(yes,5mls/hr over
speedlimit is speeding).

And, I can hear everyone saying:

"But it's not the same,going 135 or going 55
in a 50 zone (example)".
Well, you can as easily kill someone going 55 as
you could going 135.

I'm sure everyone has heard of something like this:
"Person falls from 2nd/3rd floor and survives fall"
And this:
"Person falls backward from bottom step of ladder
and was killed instandly".

This just goes to show that it isn't always the
speed/height that kills.


Speedlimits are posted for a reason, no matter
how silly or ridiculous they may seem.
So if everyone would adhere to them then the
roads would be a safer place for all.

I drive a school bus so I see my share of speeders,
idiots and people that just shouldn't have a drivers
license.

I don't claim or pretend to be a perfect driver, since
I do make mistakes.
But I try to learn from my mistakes and not repeat
them over and over again.
I try to be cordial and friendly to other road users,
and I have no problem apologizing to them if I do
make a mistake.

I know I'm going to get some flack from this one.

But in any case I wish all a good night.

Louis.
