Only need to get close to a shark once before you die. Chances of that happening? I swim at the beach more then i speed Oh and if you can't see a car ahead of you on the freeway you shouldn't be driving, get your eyes checked. Also retards like you should know that speeding in itself not the leading cause of deaths on the road. In most speed related deaths there is alcohol and/or drugs involved, not to mention nodding off at the wheel accounts for about 20% of deaths. Also as for 'kids' not getting it and dying, 70+ year olds account for 15.2% of the road toll in vic, 40-49 year olds 14.1%, 50-29 12.1%, 30-39 14.8%. As for the 'kids' the worst is 18-20 year olds at 12.4% 21-25 9% and 26-29 6.6%.Out of every 10k cars there are 0.71 fatal casualties, per 100k pop there's 5.30. Most deaths in Victoria are in the country and i for the life of me can't find any info on deaths which were a cause of outright speed, hell there are no stats on the site for speed related deaths yet there is for a higher than .05 BAC and they gave the % for people who fell asleep at the wheel and a large majority of death's on the road have shown that they weren't wearing seatbelts. 4x more people die of falls then motor vehicle accidents (including cyclists, pedestrians and motorbikes) 5,443,228 people in victoria in 2009 and there were 209 deaths. The road toal aint all it's being made out to be my friend.
Not saying speeding doesn't kill, it does but it's not as much as your ACA or TT brain is being told. Me speeding on a FWY late at night with nobody around isn't going to kill anyone but myself so please lay off the crack, it's not like i was hammering it through a residential area or a built up area where people are always crossing the road and there is lots of traffic around.
