No...

Speed kills......add speed to any "stupid" driving , the more of a chance someone is going to get killed or injured.

Extreme example........would you want a tailgater rear ending you doing 50km/h or 100km/h?

Would you rather hit a rock wall at 50km/h or 100km/h?

Would you rather have someone cut you off while your doing 50km/h or 100km/h?

Would you, as a pedestrian, rather be hit by a car doing 10km/h or 30km/h?

Would you or the other vehicle involved .....in ANY accident situation want to be going slower or faster when the accident occurs?

Speed kills......simple.
