Speeding Dangers Highlighted During Brazil's May Yellow Campaign

Road Safety Expert Highlights Speeding Dangers During May Yellow Campaign Brazil - In a video released by Estadão and sponsored by Uber, David Duarte Lima, president of the Road Safety Institute (IST), warned of the dangers of speeding. The campaign coincides with May Yellow, a month dedicated to raising road safety awareness in Brazil. Lima stated, "Excess speed has three basic problems: it increases risks, extends braking distances, and increases the violence of collisions." He illustrated the point with specific examples, showing that the stopping distance increases significantly with speed, and the impact force increases exponentially. The video serves as a timely reminder of the importance of responsible driving and the devastating consequences of speeding. The partnership with Uber underscores the private sector's commitment to road safety initiatives.
