Do we have to associate speeding  with poor driving? I tend to believe that
it is the drivers who are NOT ALERT on the road that are causing most of
the accidents. Why else would we get up to ten car pile-ups on the 401 when
the average speed is 80 kph?

I have to agree with a provious poster who said that driving tests should
be more stringent and retesting should also be done so that we can show
drivers (myself included :-) ) that driving is a big responsibility.
