Speed

Unfortunately, we all witness speeding on a daily basis. Not surprisingly, speeding is one of the main contributors to the death toll on our roads. Many of us drive very powerful and fast cars and we have to use those vehicles in a very responsible manner.

How to manage it right

• Adhere to the speed limits at all times
• Adjust your speed in ‘tricky’ situations, for example in curves, on parking lots, when pedestrians are on the street
• Adjust your speed in bad weather conditions and watch out for aquaplaning
• Adjust your speed in bad weather conditions with limited visibility like fog, rain and sand storms
• Make sure that you can stop your vehicle within the distance of visibility
• Plan your trip well to be on time without speeding

Watch out for this

• There is just no justification for speeding!
• You endanger the live and health of yourself and others.
• Speed kills!
• Even if you run late, the world will not end, but do not speed under any circumstances
• Speeding does not shorten time, it shortens life!
• Be aware, that even 20km/h can be speeding in situations when pedestrians are around like on parking lots
• Watch our for curves – adjust your speed
• Watch out for slippery roads (sand or water) – adjust your speed
