HIDDEN EPIDEMIC: MVA INJURIES

The above article has been scanned from "DRIVE" magazine published by the Automobile Association of Malaysia (AAM) vol 15 #1, March/April 2008 edition. The comment I would like to make is that to suggest motorist especially passenger car to go at 32 km per hour. This is kereta lembu speed on the highway and freeway. At this speed, every motorist behind that particular car going at 32 km/hr will try all sort of ways, except overtaking from above since they cannot fly , unlike the stuntman in the movies, to overtake that "vintage" car. It is just like following behind a backhoe tractor chugging along happily whilst every damn drivers try their skill at overtaking. This will cause more accident. The speed of 32 km/hr is more suitable for kampung road or taking a sharp corner or while going up a winding hilly road. Any way, please practise waht you know and know your limit, not just the speed limit. Safe driving.
