Speed can be a killer on Island highways

If you want to see a string of cars speeding like idiots, stacked like cord wood, just go to the highway.

Re. High speed main factor in traffic deaths (Letters, June 8).

IB次元官网网址檓 glad to see IB次元官网网址檓 not the only person who thinks blaming accidents on B次元官网网址渟lowB次元官网网址 drivers to be absurd.

ItB次元官网网址檚 funny how no matter how fast that first car is going in the fast lane, itB次元官网网址檚 never fast enough for all those drivers behind it. Twenty, 30 or 40 km/h over the limit, it doesnB次元官网网址檛 seem to matter.

If you want to see a string of cars speeding like idiots, stacked like cord wood, just go to the highway.

Rain or shine, with one or two fools weaving in and out in high speed bumper-to-bumper traffic, trying to get ahead. If not now, just wait five minutes.

I can only assume they donB次元官网网址檛 care about anyone lives, never mind their own. ItB次元官网网址檚 a good thing the government is going to add more lane barriers on the Malahat. If nothing else, at least one lane might be kept clear during the clean up after some driver kills a car full of people.

But donB次元官网网址檛 count on it.
