I would like to ask those people who drive their cars at high speeds through congested areas to think again.

I was recently walking with my young son and stopped at a zebra crossing. I was about to cross over when I heard a sound of a car engine fast approaching. He must have been doing over 50mph. I let him pass and realised that if I had been on the crossing this driver would never have been able to stop in time.

It made me so angry. We don't need to see how fast you can drive your car but how safely.
