Speeding has become one of the main driving offences to be listed under “reckless driving”. It is becoming more and more common on the roads as faster cars are being designed and people are getting more impatient. The fire fighter I questioned said this “speeding is becoming increasingly dangerous as more and more people do it, people see one person getting away with it so think its ok to do it themselves. Some of the crashes I’ve had to go to have been horrendous, most of these crashes have been teenagers and it’s a horrible sight to see. Speeding is very dangerous no matter how good a driver you are because the faster you’re going the more dangerous the crash will be. It can be very dangerous for everyone and creates a bigger and harder job for us as we have to pull more than one person out of wreckage. Nothing can prepare you for what you will see”
Another big killer that comes under the category of “reckless driving” is peer pressure because it can cause young drivers to show off to look cool in front of their friends. It can be very dangerous and lots of crashes have been caused because of it. When I asked the fire fighter about this he said “ the amount of RTC’s (road traffic crashes) I have had to go to and seen a group of young men in a car dead is crazy, I go to nearly two a week and they are all caused by showing off. So many innocent people have died because of young boys showing off, you can’t help but feel a little anger towards the boy driving when there are other people dead because them being stupid and acting like an idiot. Each Year over 5,000 teens ages 16 to 20 Die due to fatal injuries caused Car accidents. About 400,000 drivers age 16 to 20 will be seriously injured.
