Speed without a doubt is the main factor. To issue permits for car racing is sheer stupidity. There are enough tragedies in our own country without oversea news. Reliability trials and hill climbing in order to test out quite drivers and cars. Those associations asking for more speed for road travel ought to remember nur roads are not built for speed Too many drivers take the corners and bends without slowing up They end up over the bank, often times with a tragedy.-Yours, etc..
