Who thinks lack of concentration on the road kills not speed?

Question:


Answers:

How come New Hampshire has no seatbelt law?

They are both as dangerous. That is why using a mobile phone whilst driving is now illegal. Concentration is needed when driving and may be the cause of more accidents than speeding as somebody speeding is probably paying attention for police and speed cameras. Somebody talking to a child in the back seet is probably concentrating on the conversation and not paying enough attention to the road.

XENON BULB 8000K?

WELL I DO AGREE SOME WHAT BUT MOST OF ALL MOST ACCIDNETS THAT HAPPEN WHERE SOMEONE IS KILLED IS BECAUSE OF IMPACT. SO THAT MEANS IF THEY WERE NOT GOING AS FAST THEN MIGHT HAVE HAD A CHANCE FOR LIVING. BUT THEN AGAIN TO MANY PERSONS ARE ON CELL PHONES. OR BUSY CHANGING CD;S IN THE RADIO, OR LIGHTING A CIG.
