It's almost like some wacko Christians saying one sin is no worse than the other(so stealing a piece of bread is on the same level as murder).

So let me throw this past you. If you're on the AC Expressway and the flow of traffic is going 75mph, and you're doing 55mph in the right lane...who is more dangerous, the pack of cars or the guy doing 55? Take the speed limit out of the equation for a second and answer.

How many people dye each day because of typical accidents which includes speeding?

No. Doing over 100mph street racing or just hauling ass is way more dangerous but just like I said before. Every MPH over the speed limit increases your risk of getting into a accident. The faster you go the more at risk you become.

How can you say take the speed limit out of the equation? So if there is no speed limit then who cares if you are doing 75mph or 100mph? The guy doing 55mph in the RIGHT lane is right were he needs to stay. That person becomes a threat if they are in the left lane doing 20mph less then everyone else. So to answer your question. I would say the people doing 75mph. If something happens to a car in the pack like a tire blow out or a deer run in the street then the cars going faster have a less chance of being able to stop in time or have a bigger chance of loosing control of the car when you try to swerve.


Now let me ask you a question. Would there be less accidents in the USA if everyone was obeying the speed limits?
