In defence of RC, IMO anyone who can drive at express high speed (i.e. above 250 km/h) on a regular basis for well over 25 years without any accident .... well, I think that record speaks for itself really.

I have driven above 250 km/h many, many times. I am extremely careful at very high speed and I have never come close to having a risky incident.

IMO handling very high speed takes some skill but it is also something one can quite easily become accustomed to.

IMO the real risk is in factors beyond one's control - namely, (1) ice or water on the road surface - in which case, I would not drive at high speed - and (2) other cars on the road. I always allow generous margins for error to take into account other's lack of skill and experience. That way, I never get near to exposing myself to risk.
