On: Can You Buy A License to Speed?

[dragontamer]

At 65mph, it is realistic to drop your speed to 50mph or 40mph before a collision. (Delta-V of 20mph or so seems reasonable).

The survival rate of a 40mph collision is around 50%. The survival rate of a 80mph collision is 0%.

There is a _big_ difference between a 60mph cruising speed and 100mph cruising speed.
