This may be the dumbest argument ever discussed on RT. Intelligent people actually arguing the faster you go in a vehicle the safer you are. Now I understand the Trump attraction.surprise

Think of it this way Nick: If you drive faster you arrive at your destination faster, which means less time spent on the road and so if you spend less time on the road you are less likely to have an accident than if you spend more time. Smiley​​​​

The two most common reasons for accidents, especially fatal ones, are driving under the influence and distracted driving. 

 

And either of these can be fatal even at city speed, both to the driver or to people outside.

The counter to that might be saying the impaired driver sped up and went above the speed limit, hence the fight against 'speed', but they conveniently forget that because of the impaired-ness, the driver lost track of speed. 

Take any two driver, get one drunk, or have him/her texting on the phone, while driving at 80km/hr, keep the other one sober, and have him drive at 240km/hr, which driver you think is going to crash?
