Are you one who think that a minute later mean to much?
Everyone has become so impatient, I will include myself in this (from time to time) I think its a off shoot of instant gratification, we want to be where we are going right now, not a minute later.
I see every day in traffic how much we are nervious, agressive, impatient.
DO you think that people character can be known after we see him in traffic?
Why peoples don t think before to make a car accident, before to be to late?
Every day die so many people who are just innocent because of others, who never think, or think that there is not tomorrow.

I don't know why people drive so fast. I just think it's funny how they try to pass you only to get to a red light. ha! ha! But I know it is not safe for people to be driving that fast. And believe me when something happens to them like an accident or a ticket maybe they will think like me. Better Late than NEVER!

I will never understand why people decide to drive so fast especially when the weather is bad outside. I hate driving in the winter just because of the fear of getting in a accident so I will never understand why others drive fast.
I drive the speed limit no matter what but go slower when the weather is not good. There has been times when I have been passed in the summer going the speed limit so I don't think I can really have an opinion on this one LOL

I've always felt that driving can bring out the worst in people, especially driving in heavy traffic. As far as reckless driving, I think a lot of people feel invincible, or else they're so distracted and tired they don't realize how bad they're driving. Then there are the drivers who think they own the road and act aggressively...I hate being around those types of drivers. Sadly there are the drunk drivers too. Recently in a town near us two teenage girls were hit and killed by a drunk driver as they walked near the road with friends. It's heartbreaking to think how one stupid decision can end up killing innocent people.

I think people never believe that a car crash caused by them driving too fast could ever happen, though of course the rest of us know it can. I agree with you in that there is that instant gratification element present and a level of nervousness, stress, aggression and impatience. I just wish people would take the time to slow down a bit, because whilst driving, a perceived saved second could cost that driver, and perhaps other road users too, their lives. Is it worth it to save just that one second in time?

People drive so fast sometime in order to look for excitement, sometime they are express their feeling. They forget the dangerous what they do, however, when the traffic happen or get the ticket, when they calm, they know what they have done was wrong.

Some people are fearless. Whether it be they do not fear the police or they do not fear killing themselves, a lot of people do not think of the consequences. Driving can be dangerous under any circumstances even if you are careful. Mostly because of the reasons of a lot of people speeding up. The fact that some people are in a hurry to go wherever they want to go frustrates me. I guess they are not organized enough to get ready on time and thus they are scrambling to make it. Still fearless or just reckless, either could apply to a lot of drivers out there.
