Yesterday morning while going to work, saw 2 accidents. One was one West Coast Highway, one in KPE towards PIE. The one on west coast was a old Mazda 5 coupe buried into the side of the road, driver not around, looks like an early morning spin that went out of control. The one in KPE looks more serious, motorbike and i think the rider under a somewhat exteriorly modify Altis or Vios (Did not get a good look as there are quite a number of police around). Took out 2 of the 3 lane in KPE.
I like speed and doing up rides, but I always feel very strongly about uncontrolled speeding on public road. A race conducted on a track against drivers who know the risk and have the skill is about sportsmanship. A reckless drive on public road with drivers that do not know the risk and do not know how to react is pure stupidity. No only wasting public resource (jams etc) but endanger others life.
This morning 93.3 have a discussion on whether expressway driving should be part of the driving competency test/curriculum. Reaction was mix.
To me is it no whether someone have experience on the expressway, but whether the driver respect the right of other road users.
