You would be handling a person that was alive a few minutes ago, but is now dead. Worse yet....deal with a fatality that is the result of SOMEONE ELSE'S need for speed. Death is pretty final! Or pick up pieces off the road from a person that was thrown from their vehicle because of not wearing a seat belt AND speeding. You will soon understand why a person will stand there and think..."was speeding worth it"?
Perhaps you think you're invincible......but you're not and neither am I, the driver that shares the road with you. Accidents can have a great way of "equalizing" everyone.

Before I do that, why don't you show me some some collisions caused solely by someone going 10-20km/hr over the limit on a straight piece of freeway - no other factors, not tailgating, not blowing a red light.
