The recent two traffic accidents in Bugis showed the danger of speeding, especially to beat the red light at a road junction. In both cases, the speeding vehicle did not have the right of way.
Even if they had the right of way, it is important that they should be able to stop in time, if the other vehicle had made a mistake in getting into their path. This is called defensive driving - i.e. to avoid an accident even if the other vehicle had infringed on our right of way.
I find that many vehicles are driven too fast on our roads and the driver may not be able to stop on time, if there is an unexpected obstruction or if the vehicle in front needed to change lanes. We need drivers to be patient and to drive more slowly to avoid road accidents.
