Can we all stop equating speed with being unsafe? I've heard this BS stat that speed is a factor in car deaths. If speed were really so dangerous, then planes would be one of the least safe methods of travel.
The real problem is people driving outside the limits of what is safe for the road, car, situation, or themselves. This is the reason there is a 25MPH limit in school zones, where some kid darting out in front of you is likely, but the exact same road during non-school hours is often 35 or 40 MPH.
Cars these days are extremely safe at high speeds, and speeding in and of itself isn't necessarily unsafe. It's when the driver does something else unsafe, and couples it with high speeds, that things get deadly.
