Mindful Driving Challenge for March-
Speed Kills
Your mindful driving challenge for March is to observe the posted speed limit at all times on your
way to school.
The laws of physics change for no car, bike, or pedestrian.The severity of any collision is governed
by momentum (my) and the speed component has been proven to be the critical factor.A 10mph
increase in collision speed doubles the chance of fatality or serious injury to the pedestrian or
bicyclist.Which is all a very Silicon Valley way of saying"speed kills."So this month we challenge
you to drive at or under the posted speed limit on the way to school.Your kids are your traffic cops,
helping you to find the speed limit signs and monitoring your speedometer.
