If you think about the amount of time you spend driving around, and you factor in the amount of time you are doing something else when you drive (smoking, talking on your cell phone, just thinking about life problems), you realize that we are all bound to be involved in an accident at one point of another.
If you do not cause an accident, well someone will cause it for you. It is only a matter of time. We get very comfortable with out vehicles, we drive as if the vehicle understand the way we drive. The longer we drive, it seems, the sloppier our patters begin. We obey laws because we do not want a traffic ticket (some people actually follow the rules of the road because they do not want to die). But most of us decide that death should not be on our thoughts every time we driver. The consequences are that we will be breaking the law.
We all speed in the highway (at least in America). The speed limits just seems really low. How you tried going 20 MPH for more than 5 miles (not in a traffic jam). It feels like it takes forever to get to your destination. When you see the 60 MPH speed limit at what speed do you drive? 50 MPH. Most people will be driving at 60 – 65 MPH. For whatever reason, the speed limit mean “go at this speed or close to it” more than “this is the maximum speed you can go at, or less.”
The only problem is that once we are in high speed accidents, the chance of dying (or killing someone) increase exponentially.
The verdict: 100% fault against driver.
