Whenever I hear someone parrot the propaganda and say: "speed = danger" " speed was a factor (danger)" "speed = danger"
I ask: "What is the fatality rate per driver/mile driven in NASCAR, USAC, Formula 1, and Indy Car racing?"
That is remote comparison, but German autobahns with average speed in range 200 kph = 130 mph are way safer than US freeways, regardless Germans driving much lighter cars with less safety features.
But the trucks are restricted to 80 kph = 50 mph, and when they are passing each other the brakes can and do get a workout. The truckers generally signal and at the same time pull out and you are approaching at 195 kph (as fast as my company car would go).
