Reduced Speed Limit

Does it help in reducing the number of accidents by reducing its speed limit? How can they clarify that speed is the main culprit for fatal accident? How can Samy Vellu quantify that?

All the while it's been debated over why our accident rate stay at such high figure? Why wouldn't our drivers drive on the road with more cautious and patient? Does anyone bother to find out the root cause of it?

Answer is no. No one bother to find its root cause of why Malaysia have such high accident rate. No one care if the accident is caused by human error or government error. Whatever it is, the blame will be due to speeding. Without speeding, drivers can control and stop the car in time to avoid all these incidents happened. Without speeding, damage wouldn't be as bad as such etc.

I think speed is a minor issue as compare to driver's attitude. Malaysian drivers tend to have a KiaSu attitude and also there are a lot of morons who think they are on-the-road racers. Those who modified their car heavily thinks they are driving a Ferrari or Porsche. The actual fact is this bunch of idiots are living in their own fantasy and putting other road users' lifes at risk all the time.

Another possible factor is the general road condition in Malaysia. Roads in Malaysia can never be trusted, and you bound to find some pot holes here and there regardless of which road you are using, be it highway or country road. Some drivers may try avoiding such things and that's when accident happened because this thing comes so quick and there isn't much time for drivers to think and react.

Thirdly is the road signboards. Malaysia tends to have a very funny signboards, which they like to locate it right at the junction and also some signboards was terminated far away after leading drivers to certain area. Our government must be expecting drivers to know their way after leading them half way thru.

So in order to cut down accident rate, the most important thing is to re-educate these morons and idiots so they are more cautious on the road, and then slowly government will find out that the main actual fact of road accident is caused by this, rather than speeding. In actual fact, speed limit in a lot of countries are higher than Malaysia, and their population is much more than Malaysia, yet their accident rate is well kept at low level.
