Overspeeding – A major problem with the drivers!
Over-speeding is the increasing problem of every driver these days. Kids of age 10-13 are learning how to drive just because they want to over-speed initially to show off. Over-speeding is taking lives every day, whether it’s a bike or a car.
Why is overspeeding necessary when it’s dangerous?
Day by day technology is increasing. There is invention of new technology and cars every year. As the quality and acceleration of cars is increasing, youngsters are up ahead to buy the latest model. There are modification shops from where a normal sedan car is turned into a sports beast.
An example of this can be found on Sundays; early morning at Karachi track. A group of racers are there early morning for the race. There is betting going on and cars like Mercedes Benz C200 are turned into sports cars. A road where speed limit is 70 Km/H, these racers drive insanely, at 170 Km/H.
Sometimes speeding is required. During emergency situations you speed up but there is a reason for speeding. However, these days, over speeding is a trend. In a city like Karachi, it is said, ‘you don’t know how to drive unless you overspeed and win a race’
Every year the number of accidents are increasing and the major reason is overspeeding. The drivers show off so much that they do not tighten their seat belt.

Moreover, accidents don’t ask before taking place. Accidents occur on their own! Drive safe and take care. Follow traffic rule to avoid accidents.
