So can we now focus on driver education rather than the over simplistic 'speed, speed, speed' road safety message?

Re: Not "far below the acceptable standard"

...We do know what is alleged and apparently this does not fall "far below the acceptable standard" and is viewed as careless. That view in itself (regardless of whether the allegation is true or false in this particular case) is what I find concerning. All we know is what has been report...
