Description:
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.
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.
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.
Action Strategy:
Combine engineering (speed-calming measures, cameras), targeted enforcement, and public campaigns that reframe speeding as socially unacceptable, with transparent penalties for high-profile offenders as a deterrent.
