I think you’re deliberately missing the point. There are so many confounding factors when it comes to crash severity that it is not accurate to simply point to F=ma and say, “see, speed is dangerous!” (Plus, a is delta v over t, not v itself, so even if you’re talking pure physics you still need to account for delta v …

Don’t crash.

If your hypothesis were true, the fastest roads would be the most dangerous, and so would the fastest mode (commercial air travel). Clearly there are mitigating factors.

It’s all bullshit since it’s just up to the officer and doesn’t imply a forensic analysis of the crash.

Come to the West. 85 is like standing still.

So make driving tests harder. It's not like people are allowed to drive without a license.

You are incorrect. "Speed-related" is at the discretion of the officer or the coroner and does not involve a formal investigation or definition.

Speeding is neither bad nor inherently dangerous. Limits are set artificially low. And like the OP said, all crashes are speed related because if nobody was moving there wouldn't have been a crash.

That'd be great if our speed limits were actual limits rather than set statutorily. If the limit on an open freeway were 120 or so, then yes, I could see the argument for limiters.

Which would be fine if they also had a "return to right lane" feature after passing. I see so many Tesla's cruising in the passing lane without a care in the world or a driver's hand on the wheel.

Those devices are illegal in California because we believe in privacy laws.

First: “Speed-related” fatalities include any fatality where speed could be identified as a factor in the form. If a drink driver in a stolen car plows into a crowd of people on a sidewalk, it will get classified as “Speed-related” even though there are clearly more obvious causal factors.

I dunno, I plugged my 15 kV line into an extension cord and the next thing I know I’m in the hospital :-D

Ms. Delvey, I told you to stay off the Internet.

I mean, even random strangers can do a lot of damage. Not super-cool with that, even, but agree that it’s much worse when a government with police powers can do it.

Note this well, EV enthusiasts who scoff at the Hummer EV.

Fun story: the reason the trains need to lean is that some of the tunnels in Connecticut are so narrow that the cars would hit the walls otherwise.

OK, so, side note:

Maybe. If you think Cleveland can be a bedroom community of Chicago.

I hate Uber and agree it creates traffic congestion. But counterpoint: if we can give people making less than $40,000 a year a thousand dollars, they should be able to do whatever they damn well please with it. Including taking a mode of transportation which benefits them and harms the rest of us.
