Even if our speed limits were raised to 90 miles per hour, there will be people who will want to travel at 100 miles per hour. There is no one single solution to the speeding issue. But, it is important that we teach our youngsters about issues such as this one from a very young age. The proposed New Drivers Ed program is one that I feel will succeed and show very positive results. Teaching and educating adults about these same issues is essential too.
Many adults are just too ignorant.
They don't believe that they themselves have driving problems. Acknowledging that they have a problem is the first and perhaps the most important step in solving a problem. Programs and activities such as QDC's are effective tools that will allow individuals to recognize and acknowledge their driving inadequacies. It's unfortunate that it often takes a tragedy to occur before people recognize that a problem exists. It shouldn't have to come down to that.
