Road carnage - Drivers can save lives by slowing down

ON the eve of this bank holiday weekend, tragically a time of carnage on the roads, it is scary to learn that the vast majority of motorists believe speeding is okay.

In fact, seven out of 10 drivers think it is acceptable to drive at 10 mph above the speed limit.

Hopefully, as they head for the beach this weekend, the shock finding of a National Safety Council survey will convince motorists to slow down.
