OK, OK...sorry. I was trying to make a point by using a figurative cliche.
Obviously, speed in and of itself does not kill, but excessive speed
increases the likelyhood that a driver will make an error, because he has
less time to react.  Also, obviously, at higher speeds the consequences of
these errors amplify for the reasons I listed originally.
