Neither of those are due to excessive speed, and everything to do with poor driving ability/attitude. Unfortunately these take time, and are more difficult to address, than using a blunt instrument of speed camera.
If the driving test in the UK was to IAM/ROSPA standards and based around Roadcraft principles, I’d wager we’d have far fewer collisions and lower KSI stats as a direct result. |
I Fully agree with your comments I was going to post something similar. I travel around the south of England for work in a car/van and mobile cranes some people do not have a clue about spacial awareness and perception of speed and distance.
