If speed killed, nobody would ever survive an auto race.

What kills is speed that is excessive for a given set of circumstances, and
that cannot easily be addressed by posted speed limits alone. *Some
jurisdictions with "reasonable and prudent" speed laws recognize this.


Yep, it doesn't matter how fast you miss things. It's hitting things
that hurt. Don't hit things.
