Humans have in incredible talent for self-deception. Static speed limits are not a joke if you accept that our understanding of physics is real and have a basic understanding of how increasing speed increases energy at impact in a non-linear way. You can be the best driver in the world (and you are almost certainly not), but someone blowing through a red light will still be unavoidable at times.
