Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere, and most often they are due to a person’s carelessness. Another of the most common causes of accidents is speeding. A video was recently released online that shows exactly how speeding has dire consequences. In this particular incident, a Tata Punch was seen flying over a pavement and hitting a Honda WR-V crossover.
This video of the Tata Punch involved in a high-speed accident is courtesy of Nikhil Rana from YouTube. It begins with a seemingly normal street in a city where there is normal traffic. We can also notice that there was a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga on the left side of the road.
There was also a yellow speed driver parked in the parking lot in front of a building. Additionally, a white Honda WR-V crossover was parked on the far right in the same lot. According to the video, the incident took place in Kattappana, Kerala.
What happened next?
Suddenly a white Tata Punch flew across the parking lot. It came from the wrong side of the road and somehow managed to affect both the pace and the Ertiga.
We can note that the margin was very small and still managed not to come into contact with vehicles. However, as the speed of this Tata Punch was way too high, it couldn’t avoid hitting the white Honda WR-V that was parked in front of it.
From the video we can clearly see that the impact was so severe that the WR-V rotated 90 degrees. The blow hit the right rear door of the WRV. Despite a violent collision, the Punch was still going too fast and continued on the road.
Viewers can also observe that after impacting the WR-V, the SUV managed to avoid contact with a parked Toyota Innova Crysta. Furthermore, the beating didn’t stop after that.
He also managed to avoid a parked Mahindra Bolero pickup. Whether this happened due to the driver’s skill or pure chance is unknown. However, the accident was most likely due to his inability to control the high speed.
Speeding accidents
Excessive speed is a traffic violation that significantly increases the risk of an accident. There are several reasons why it is a major cause of accidents. Firstly, it shortens the driver’s reaction time.
This makes it more difficult to react to unexpected situations such as sudden stops or obstacles on the road. Secondly, it increases braking distance. This means that the vehicle requires more time and distance to come to a complete stop.
This in turn increases the likelihood of rear-end collisions or failure to stop at intersections in time. Additionally, excess speed multiplies the impact force in the event of a collision, resulting in more serious injuries or deaths.
Avoid overspeeding
Motorists should always drive within the speed limits set by the authorities. They should also adapt their speed to the road and weather conditions. Modern car owners can also use cruise control if necessary. This can help them resist the temptation to exceed the speed limit, even if they are late or in a hurry. Finally, drivers should regularly check and maintain the vehicle’s brakes, tires and other important components as this also contributes to safer driving for vehicle owners.
