Don't Speed.

My grandfather (Mum's dad, not the one who got hospitalised) just got caught for speeding on a main road with no speed limit signs. Little did he know or remember that if there are no signs, it means the speed limit is 50km/h. He only found out that he was travelling at 91km/h when he received a letter one week later ordering him to appear in court some time after Chinese New Year. Apparently, you need to appear in court if you violate the speed limit by more than 30km/h. He's depressed and he might lose his license. At least there's a lesson to learn here and that is we should all stop speeding on roads. Not only because we don't want to be spotted by those mobile speed traps but also because we don't want to endanger the lives of fellow road users any more than we want to endanger our own.

Drive safely.
