Speeding

Speeding seems to be something that our society has trouble dealing with. The highest speed limit in the country is 70mph and people love to break it, I mean I don't blame them, some people have fast new cars that have the potential of reaching 120mph and those individuals can't help it, speeding gives them a rush of adrenaline. If cars can reach that speed then the authorities should know that their are many people out their willing to use that speed or that their going to be tempted to atleast.

I'm not a fan of speeding, especially when it results in people getting killed or seriously injured, I've seen people driving at atleast 50mph in 30mile zone and personally I think that is disgraceful and very dsrespectful. New learner drivers seem to be the worst, driving round in their 'bad boy' cars, speeding or racing with other vehicles - thinking their king of the road - but what is being done about it? The answer - nothing. Speed cameras are a complete waste of time to be honest - people get to know where they are and just slow down on their way past them. Who is that helping? Not many people at all in my opinion.

Speeding vehicles is a bad concept and their are so many irresponsible people out there - more should be done about it and stricter laws should be enforced - but like most bad things in this country I doubt much will be done about it. Take a look at this website, to see the statistics on speeding and problems we face: http://www.ukspeeding.co.uk/statistics.html
