When I go competitive racing, I prepare the car, and myself for a crash. Sooner or later it WILL happen. It's part of the thrill, pushing past the limit, or a sudden reaction to a bad move by somebody else.
If I didn't expect a crash to happen I would be dangerous to myself and others. Hence why strict safety requirements are set.
I do accept speed itself does not kill. But 30mph outside a school at kicking out time is far more dangerous than 80mph on a clear motorway at 2am. 1 is legal though.
But the general public do not do this, they travel through built up areas in excess of 30mph, and that is, or can be, dangerous.
Do you think speed limits in built up areas are a good or bad idea? Safer to have limits, or not ?
Motorway limits are a different argument, but are generally too busy to allow excess speeding. The average driver (most of us are average, or around average) is not good enough to speed in busy traffic.
Speeding is therefore dangerous and life threatening. Yes? Or no ?
