SPEED AND DIE.

why do people speed?

hmm. good question. but if you were to ask a seasoned driver why he speeds. well, most likely he will reply, "everybody else is moving so fast. if i were to abide to the traffic rules and move at the designated speed limit, everybody else will most probably honk at me for moving too slow."

see the everybody-else-is-doing-it excuse that everybody else is using in order to blend into the sea of wrong doers so that they can excuse themselves from being pointed out to carry the blame. ugh. cowards.

so what the hell is your point huh? are you trying to say that people honking at you and making your already-bad day bad-er is worse than being the culprit that cause deaths on the road? if you really think that way, (sigh) i really pity your parents for having a son / daughter like you.

i can't deny the fact that the expressways are way too appealing not to speed on, but we(being the moral-educationalized people) must always remember that the consequences that might derive from our irresponsible action are terminal and irrevocable.

alright, just imagine your dad who is sitting beside you reading the papers, your mum sitting right behind you chatting with your sister who is busy complaining to her about school work and friends. see what you're risking? yes, i know you see it. no, i'm not trying to be superfluous. i just want to accentuate the fact that you are not only risking your own life, but also your loved ones. are their lives so expendable? so please, show more intelligence and don't do anything stupid(rash) to jeopardize what you have. it's just not worth the few minutes of thrill.

and if you are thinking of rebutting the point that i've just made by saying that you are in the car alone. oh yea. for the benefit of those who are not tired of living, let me remind you that there are actually other cars on the road. (gasp!)

people have their rights to live and you, being the self-centred jerk who insists of having temporary fun by speeding on the 90km/h-is-the-speed-limit expressways, have no right at all to take away what they have. if you don't want to live, please go ahead and jump down from a flat or something. but don't do it on the road, other people who treasure their lives don't deserve to be taken away with you.

i know that inducing thrill is only one of the thousand-and-one examples available to explain the irresponsible act of speeding. but whether or not are you speeding because you are in a rush for time or to chase after a criminal, life is too precious to be gambled upon. unless you can save a life by speeding. well if that's the case, go ahead. but still, please take due care when *speeding.

*every person here has to abide to the law(speed limits).
the only difference is the speed limit itself.
