I'll say it again: the problem isn't speeding, it's recklessness. Speeding, depending on circumstances, can be reckless, but recklessness is far more encompassing and speeding does not by default equal recklessness.
Agreed wholeheartedly. As long as people stick to their lanes and respect the lane priority, there's no problems.
Autobahn has fewer fatalities per km than your average city highway.
Racing has been safer than commuting for years.
Absolute speed isn't the problem - it's relative speed. Always has been. The problem is, the politicians need a line that even their constituents can understand, to rile up a mob.
Agree. This is why average speed over distance enforcement is so effective.
It gets people to concentrate on their speed and it gets people to drive at very similar speeds.
