Accidents Quote by Joe Cater
““Firstly, contrary to popular leftist dogma, speed does not cause accidents. In our towns and cities cyclists, pedestrians and elderly drivers cause accidents. On the country roads it is cyclists and dangerous drivers and on the motorways it is dangerous driving which causes accidents, obviously the faster a vehicle is travelling the greater the damage which will result from an accident however that is just a consequence rather than the cause.””
