Curb these speedsters

I JUST became a retiree and, perhaps consequentially, I have became more conscious about safety around me. One thing – among many others – that caught my eye is the wanton disregard for the speed limit exhibited by drivers of small trucks (one to five tonnes) and the bigger trailers, tankers (oil tankers excluded, as I find that they are well-regulated by the oil companies), container trucks, and express buses.

Their speed limits are mainly 80kph to 90kph. But travel along the NKVE (New Klang Valley Expressway) or Elite (North-South Expressway Central Link) highways, to name just two, and you see many of these vehicles going over the speed limit.
