Speed.... nuff said.

Accidents that happens out of the reason stupid, unwilling to learn and understand, people create just because they can´t drive. Not lost control because of wet and slippery road condition. Lost control because of bad driving skills and driving too quick without caring of the road conditions.

Yawn......

It was the poor woman who faced a "perilous challenge" that cost her her life.
