now lets look at the numbers. 20k people of 1 million is a lesser percentage of people dying than the 12k of the 20k.


how is this possible??? because more people that are driving...albeit safely or dangerously, there are simply more people. this makes the risk factor actually less than those that are actually taking the larger risk of which more people get seriously hurt or caused death from the more dangerous activity.


whens the last time you heard ''oh they were street racing and it resulted in a minor fender bender.'' almost never...because a higher percentage of those that crash street racing are caught in serious life threatening accidents. those that were speeding (say 65 in a 55) have a better chance of surviving someone clipping your back end.

I understand that completly. It just kills me that everyone is on people for street racing and what not but no one cares about just speeding.

I know that it would be safer if there was no street racing on the roads and everyone seems to agree but I find it funny that no one replies when I ask if the roads would be safer if everyone obeyd the Speed limit? Well would they?

I do 10 over pretty much everywere. I still get passed like I am standing still. Sometimes I have to speed up even faster so that the semi behind me, who wants to do 80, is trying to run me over. Its sad that I have to speed up to feel safer driving which in turns makes my stopping distance shorter and my reaction time shorter also.
