That depends, how fast am I going?


What's causing me to hit that wall? Doing 100kph in an 80kph zone won't somehow cause a rock wall to shoot up through the tarmac.


I'd need to know the specifics of the situation. If I'm doing 100kph in an 80kph zone with traffic around, it is probably so I can maintain pace with open space in an adjacent lane and thus greatly reducing the possibility of another driver being lined up in such a way that their lane change would "cut me off".


I as a pedestrian will wait for the car to stop before walking out in front of it.



I wouldn't want to be in a collision at any speed. That's why I drive in such a way that reduces my chance of being in one, even if that means going with the flow of "speeding" traffic so as to maintain adequate space around my vehicle.
All I can say is......wow.......
