Reckless driving and speeding are routinely tolerated or poorly enforced, allowing preventable crashes to occur even on good road surfaces, as alleged in the Anthony Joshua incident.

Origin

Desired Outcome
A road transport system where speed limits and safety rules are enforced consistently through education, engineering and penalties, reducing high-energy crashes.

What Could Go Wrong
If speeding remains socially acceptable and lightly enforced, serious crashes will continue regardless of improvements in roads or ambulances, and safety campaigns will lack credibility.

characters
Current Situation
Some observers attribute the fatal crash primarily to speeding behaviour, noting that smooth roads without calming measures invite dangerous speeds and that enforcement is sporadic.
