This is very dangerous, but at the time it seems very harmless.

That is not all that people do when driving some people actually try to read, send text messages, and smoking can also be a interruption. Drivers speed for no cause at all. If it's not a life death situation then you should never go over the speed limit. Lots of people go over the speed limit to avoid being late for work and to make matters worse some drivers will speed just to go to a friends house or even something as simple as a dough-nut shop. Now that sounds strange and ridiculous, but unfortunately very true.

Put on your make-up before leaving home, and never drive when you have major stress on your mind. Most importantly think about your life and the life of others when on the road think safely before anything else first.
