Can't people just think a bit harder on the roads?

Why do people always blame car accidents on speeding?

I see alot of people that cause just as many accidents by driving under the speed limit in the fast lane while talking on their phones and slamming the brakes for no good reason.

I also see people who just change lanes without signaling but there are no campaigns for these people.

 Only for the guys who are speeding, who are usually just people who were stuck behind the jerks I mentioned in the beginning of this rant, got psyched up and then decided to punch the gas thinking they can make up for lost time only to plough into the back of a semi.

Why don't the cops bag both the speeders and the guys who are being overly cautious or oblivious in the wrong place?

Are the laws that just aren't enforced or something?

Don't people realize that this behaviour is equally as bad as speeding?

as with any other issue of enforcement, which one is easier to enforce? logging your speed was over the limit using a laser speed radar or that you were driving "too slow" on the fast lane (left lane in most of the world)... I'm with you though... safety-wise driving fast is not a cause for accidents - driving too-fast for the conditions of the road IS. the fact that police forces focus their efforts in catching people going 15 km/h too fast on an inter-state highway is plain stupid.

Christmas accessories uk - do they have anything in common?;)

Fast drivers usually don't realize that they ride may have really bad consequences. And bad for them or for other people. I'm sure that they are not thinking about the danger that they are on the road or just have great fun from the speed. If it goes to cyclists some of them are totally aware of costs and even have lines around their necks connected with helmet and in case of accident they could die in order to not to be disable
