There really is no excuse for speeding. I think the figure of 30% of fatal car crashes are down to speeding.
- cgag 13y agoI agree, I think we should be charging all speeders with attempted murder.
- awjr 13y agoI know you are joking, but I do think there is a certain argument to be made that should it be proven that the reason the crash fatality happened was due to speeding, then I don't see why somebody should not be done for a form of murder. Speed limits are there for a reason.
- PieSquared 13y agoAlthough I agree with the general sentiment, I think I have to disagree with the sentence, "There really is no excuse for speeding." In particular, speeding is a norm in many places in the United States. If you are not going five to ten miles above the speed limit, people are likely to be actively passing you or driving too close behind you. I suspect it's safer to go five miles above the speed limit than have people constantly passing you because you're going slower than everyone else. (That said... I do wish speed limits were limits, and everyone followed them perfectly.)
