Whats Worse?
Drunk Driving or Over Speed Driving?
Why is acceptable to inform everybody about portable radar and on the other hand not acceptable to inform about police check outside the hotels for drunk drivers?
I just realized that i'm biased on the topic despite both offences are equally endangering safety of other motorists on the road.
I'm ashamed with myself! Whats QL's take on this?
ohbee wan thats a good conclusion for this thread!
Drunk Driving = a brainless human behind wheels =Overspeeding
Bravo!!

major contributor to road crashes and to death and injury, far more so
than any other single factor. That's why most countries have zero or
very low tolerance regimes and many use random alcohol testing as well."
basically this evidence does not apply here , if you'll just make a study on this one, most of the accident that happens here are not under the influence of alcohol or any drug. simply just brainless human beings behind wheels which comes to my conclusion of
overspeeding = brainless human behind wheels
Thanx 4 correction.... canarybird

That having been said, speed carries with it attendant problems, more so in circumstances demanding more caution.
In most places, devices which capture speeding offences are widely regarded as no more than revenue raising - a form of additional taxation. But if cameras and the like are used sensibly - allowing a small degree of latitude for example - and deployed to identify those guilty of serious and persistent transgression - usually well over the posted limit - then few of us could argue. I do wonder though why cameras also don't catch those travelling at well under the limit thus impeding trafffic, or those who won't move across lanes.
But cameras and other devices don't do anything to prevent other more serious and dangerous abuses such as tail-gating, weaving in traffic and intimidating other motorists. Just think of how many rear end collisions each of us has seen in Doha for example! That's a role for active policing - something sadly lacking in Qatar.
Both!
OH B 1- basically they are just brainless.......
life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......
ohbee wan ...nice conclusion.
drunk driving = a brainless human behind wheels
overspeeding = a brainless human behind wheels
so all in all they are both the same
both are lethal and bring great dangerous to others so try your best to say NO to both please.
But I have been speeding alot lately. Confession from my true heart.
Everybody is right and Everybody is wrong, its depend where you stand
Both are dangerous, drunk because he is mentally and physically not in control of his care and the speeder because he is not in control of his mind nor his car and both are mentally prepared to cause imminent death to them selves and others.
hmm... yea whats worse dying by hanging urself or falling off a cliff...
lets see... BOTH
It's always the small things that make big differences.
Don't quite get you on the latter...can you expain your position on drunk drivers please?
