Boy-O-Boy ... that's wrong on so many fronts I can't count em' (IMHO).

So by extension - if enough folks are ignoring the physics of speeding such that it appears they are getting away with it, then the physics should be tweaked so that the danger no longer exists?

I believe that's somehow related to another viewpoint on speeding in a vehicle: "You can ignore reality, but you cannot go on ignoring the consequences of ignoring reality."

Not quite, but close. If enough people "get away with it" it's not dangerous by its very definition, regardless of if you are scared of it.

Did you even bother to read the link from the Louisiana State Police?

Here's a quote in case you didn't:

Most drivers behave in a safe and reasonable manner, do
not drive at excessive speeds and do not want to get into
crashes.

Maybe "wrong" to you simply means not what you agree with.
