Yes, that's it!

I live in a world of working and manipulating statistics. I deal with them every day. Speeding is dangerous. So is crossing the street. Or eating a juicy burger. Minimizing risk is what it's all about. Nasty hit on this with his explanation. If you are speeding you are stacking the deck against you a little. If you race on the street you are stacking it against you more, especially at night.

You can also get into physics of vehicles under slight vs. heavy acceleration, working in weight transfer, tire contact, etc if you want to be crazy about it.
