Its driving standards just as much as speed.
Driving a car is a very serious thing, thats why you have to take a test and being in control of a vehicle is the important thing, it only takes a second of not paying attention by yourself or somelse and you could be dead or injured, like the poor family I had the misfortune of seeing the aftermath of an accident when their A8 was rear-ended into the path of an oncoming lorry. Looked more like an aircraft accident because someone was not concentrating, totally pointless.......
Oooo I think I just had a rant.....  |
AND....
Modern cars are like driving around in a Sensory Deprivation Chamber, what the world needs is cars that force you to concentrate, not watch telly (sat-nav), play with youself, text or phone because you’re bored, or steer with your knees just for something to do…
