Shattered dreams, wounded hearts, broken toys

We lost a brilliant soul in a freak accident. She would have been alive today if her car wasn't speeding. And she wasn't driving it!

This is to all who are consumed by speed and feels they are in full control. Most often, they are not.

We all ride/drive. We ride motorbikes or scooters and drive cars to go from point A to B. Now, give that last line a second thought. How many of us drive / ride,  just to get from point A to B, and how many of us 'race' and 'speed' from one point. Since I ride from an early age, i understand what a combination of young age, powerful machines, and speed does. It thrills. And one mistake, it kills. It destroys dreams. It destroys lives of innocent people who would have just been co-passengers/ by-standers or fellow motorists. One mistake at high speed could devastate parents, create orphans, or bid adieu to a sibling. To lose all this for some cheap gimmick what adrenaline does to ones' brain is one of the silliest and most irresponsible thing a human being could do.

• If you crash when you ride at 30kmph, you might have torn skin.
• If you crash when you ride at 60kmph, you could break some bones.
• If you crash at 80kmph, it will be a miracle if you are alive.
• If you crash at 120 kmph, that's is just suicide.
• If you crash into someone at high speed, it is outright murder. It is NOT a MISTAKE.

Make a promise to ride responsibly. Ride fast only if you find a stretch of road, free of people, other vehicles, and animals. If you encounter any of the above, don't hesitate to slow down.

Remember, you can pick up speed again/ do that overtaking 30 seconds later/ zoom past somebody when the opposite lane does not have on-coming vehicles...but you cannot bring back a lost limb, reverse a blood clot in the brain, seal oozing blood, or bring back a brother, sister, father, mother, or friend alive by speed.

SPEED KILLS.

FORWARD IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO.
