Re: Crashes increase when speed limits dip far below engineering recommendation

Where I live, “road rules” (though they DO apparently have them) are never obeyed or enforced.
Double yellow lines mean nothing, 40kph school zones zilch, breathalysers (never heard of em) ANY speed limit... WGAF!... with Police being some of the biggest culprits too!
You must also consider that virtually every Tico (Costa Rican) is a 1st generation driver.... Their Dad was riding a horse 15-20 yrs ago... Cars were purely for the rich up North.
The road toll, naturally, is also horrendous. )And sadly we’ve seen some doozies!)
To attempt to educate drivers on just what can happen at an accident scene, fatalities are openly “displayed”, where they lay, phones and cameras encouraged.... Truly Horrific stuff!
(AND bloody slows me down)
