00:00Be patient because it's not worth it.
00:02So if you've missed your turn, if you're going to be late, it's okay.
00:09It's not worth taking the life of someone else because you are not being patient.
00:15Speeding, drink driving or even making a small mistake on the road could have dire consequences.
00:22The thing that sticks with me the most is probably the violence and the trauma involved with how,
00:28particularly in a fatal crash, how that person died.
00:32It's not a nice way to go.
00:34It's violent.
00:36There's twisted metal, broken glass.
00:39There's a very distinctive smell that you never forget.
00:44It's the smell of death, I call it, in that the smell of death is sort of intertwined with oil
00:52and coolant from the vehicle.
00:53And it's only attributable to people who are dying in road crashes.
00:59And that sticks with you.
01:01Reasoning for how the majority of these crashes occur to try and justify or have a family accept regret
01:13for someone looking down at their mobile phone or overtaking over double lines is impossible to get through.
01:27The faster you go, the longer it takes for you to stop.
01:30When that young child rides a pushbike in front of your car, when someone's on a foot crossing and you're
01:38not concentrating,
01:39the faster you go, the longer it takes to stop.
01:41It's as simple as that.
01:44Don't be distracted by things in the car.
01:46Don't use your mobile phone.
01:49Concentrate on what you're doing.
01:50Driving is a complex task.
01:52So don't become complacent when you're behind the wheel.
02:00Driving is a complex task.
