If you knew that the penalty for killing someone while speeding was 10 years in prison then would you stay under the speed limit?

- LatteLazy 3y agoNo, No more than I currently do anyway. I already strongly don't want to kill anyone. But I also know the chances of me doing so are very very low. So that 10yrs is very heavily discounted by the tiny probability of it happening. I guess an analogy for this is that I don't change my behaviour after I buy a lottery ticket. Sure it is not technically impossible that I will be a millionaire soon. But I don't take the precaution of lining up a lawyer and a tax accountant because the chances of it coming to pass are so tiny...
