Which Kills more, Speeding or bad driving?
What i mean is. which is more likely to kill someone? driving too fast, or driving badly?
Answers:
A bad driver speeding!
Speed kills if your driving out of your capability. And speeding in crappy weather. But probably the most dangerous person on the road today is a driver who is intoxicated and driving under the influence of oral sex
Crashing.
Speeding IS bad driving dude.
Both.
bad driving definately kills more people. You can still drive fast and safely !
driving badly, ask any motorcycle rider its not speed its inattention,
on a motorcycle you get thrown clear at speed, a mate just had mecano taken of leg came off at 30mph was OK then bike came over smashed his leg,
Bad driving-not taking the task seriously is a killer.also, being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It's the dumb fu*kers that think 70mph means 45mph in the left lane,There would be a lot les crashes if the sorry MFs would at least do the speed limit
well if your speeding and you hit a tree then your sure to be killed but if you driving slowly but badly and hit a tree you'll probably survive!
Either of the two. The two together kills faster.
Bad driving. I know of a lady that continually does 5-10 miles under the speed limit. When I see her on the road I do anything to not get behind her. On the freeway where it is 70 mph, she will even do 45 or 50. I swear people like that cause more accidents than speeders ever would. Look at all the elderly accidents that kill alot of people just because they are too prideful to give up the Independence of going whenever they want. Drives me crazy!
neither.not wearing a seat belt does and being a teenager with teenage passengers doesn't help either.
Driving too fast IS driving badly. Driving badly while not speeding increases the likelihood of an accident, obviously. But there are so many ways in which one can drive badly aside from speeding, that it makes it an impossible question to answer with any accuracy. You'd probably have to break down 'bad driving' into specific categories (e.g., driving too slowly, not signaling, cutting people off, passing someone in a no passing zone) and then analyze it from that point.
Some say that speeding is bad driving but i guess it depends how much your speeding
Speeding is bad driving either way you could crash your car and hurt both the car.And Buz driving (drunk driving) is just as bad.
Speeding is bad driving.
driving drunk, which is driving badly - but speeding is also driving badly, so your question is kinda hard to answer!
I actually think someone driving fast concentrates more however when they crash it is more likely to end in death. definately bad driving kills more
Bad driving for sure cos if u speed u r a bad driver anyway!
Driving too fast is driving badly.
Both of the above mentioned are factors that lead to fatal incidents on the road, adding one or the other is just going to amplify the probability of fatality. You could look at statistics and attempt to determine the most casualty producing factor but unless the data was taken in a controlled environment with all factors monitored you might have some faulty data so in order to conclusively say that one is greater than the other it is impossible to say without first being given the conditions in which the speeding and or bad driving will occur. People speed and drive bad all the time but not all of them end up in a fatal accident or in an accident at all for that matter. So I guess what I am trying to say is I would like to help you, but first you have help us help you by giving us a little more info.
Bad driving makes you much more likely to get in a wreck for sure. But speeding gives you less time to react to other bad drivers or your own mistakes. It also gives other people less time to react to you. In those situations, a few seconds to react can mean the difference between living or dying.
If you get in a wreck going excessively over the speed limit you will probably be injured badly or croak.
Speeding is more likely to kill someone else, bad driving is more likely to kill yourself. Of course, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
My Dad had a saying about this very issue. He said, "Speed kills but it doesn't cause accidents".
I don't know if that answers your question, I doubt it. I don't think there really is an answer. I think bad driving certainly causes accidents but an accident must be combined with enough speed (energy) to cause death. While I suppose it is possible, I think it unlikely that if all traffic is doing 2 MPH or less a collision will result in a fatality. On the other hand, if a great driver is traveling at 200 MPH and has a mechanical problem as simple as a blown tire a fatality can result.
I'm sorry if I only succeeded in further blurring the issue but that is about the best I can do.
I think that speeding is bad driving.If we all drove properly and with courtesy,and at all recomended speed limits,the roads would be safer for us all.
Speeding is defined as exceeding a posted speed limit, which may or may not have any relation to the safe speed of the roadway. Bad driving could include speed that is too fast for conditions, tailgating, unsafe lane changes, running red light, failure to yield right of way, and many other problematic actions.
Driving badly is more likely to cause someone to be killed, or injured. If you consider that speed greater than safe can be considered driving badly, then every incident that includes excessive speed is also part of driving badly. Other things are also considered driving badly, so the total of bad driving incidents will always be greater than or equal to the incidents that are only involving speed.
It would be like asking which has more deaths, motorcycles or motor vehicles. Seeing as a motorcycle is a motor vehicle, the total deaths for motor vehicles will include motorcycle deaths. Therefore the total for motor vehicles can never be less than the total for motorcycles.
If you are asking if exceeding a posted limit is more likely to cause a fatality than bad driving, the answer is no. Speed limits are based on many factors, not all of them safety related. may political factors can go into speed limits being set artifically low, from a safety standpoint!
.
I think they would both be classified under bad driving. But I think the fact of higher speed actually would do more harm than bad driving. So I would have to say Speeding.
bad driving because you dont have to speed to kill
speeding has neverkilled any anybody, ask richard hammond, 300mph and still alive? need i say more? it is the inappropriate use of speed that kills people. you are more likely to get killed at 30 than you are at 70. doing 70 in a 30 and getting killed is down to driver stupidity not the fact he was speeding
Bad driving.
Nine times out of ten , bad driving in the conditions prevailing. This coupled with inexperience and lack of tolerance or patience
Driving badly. It's lunacy that so many people think that speeding means 'bad driving'. People who drive far slower than necessary for the conditions tend to lack the confidence to be in control of several tonnes of metal as it is, not to mention they **** people off and cause the people around them to drive "badly" to get around them! What's more dangerous checking your speedo for the speed camera whilst hitting a person at 30 mph? Or keeping yor eyes on the road being aware of what's going on at 50 mph and therefore not hitting anyone?
