Impatience leads to speeding


By:
Minneota Police Chief Bill Bolt
You may have heard the saying that "speed kills" and in many vehicle collisions it is a contributing factor.
Yet, I believe there is a bigger killer on our roads.
There is one thing that causes more collisions and kills more people than anything else.
That danger is impatience. Impatience causes you to speed. It causes you to roll through stop signs.
It causes you to pass other vehicles dangerously. It causes you to answer your phone while driving.
If you really wanted to protect your life, you would do everything in your power to fight impatience.
I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that being late is better than being dead.
