Russell, i'm HORRIFIED to see you propagating
what is obviously a total lie. This is not
scientific fact! This is a propaganda buzzphrase
designed to brainwash the stupid masses.

Speed DOES NOT kill. Ever. You can get in a
737 plane and do 800 kph, in perfect safety.
You can do 20,000 kph on the space shuttle.
You can do 315 kph on a French train every day
to work, in perfect safety. You can get in a
Ferrari, (or my motorbike) and do 200kph
on any reasonable road in perfect safety.

Crashing kills. Accidents kill. Bad driving
kills. Speed does not.

I respect you greatly for your intellect and
sensible attitude in your other posts, please
don't blow it here, on a scientific or social
level. :o)

I have paid good money and invested a huge
amount of hours to become a skilled driver on
the street or the racetrack, and I am the person
who decides the SAFE speed that I need to
travel at. Stupidity kills. Lack of skill kills.
Speed? It's like electricity, it should be
handled by trained, mature, competent people,
not traffic cops or media marketers.
