No sorry speeding does not kill. Running into something kills. Racing proves that speed doesn't kill. Obviously we can't drive at race speed on the road because it is not controlled the same as a race track, making it much more likely that there is something to run into on the road.Speed does not DIRECTLY kill, but is directly related to the amount of energy you need to dissipate at point of impact.
Then again the way Road Safety Council's/State Government's go about getting this message across is totally wrong, hence the strong dissent shown.
As for the road safety mesage, well if we have to slow down in bad conditions why can't we go faster in good conditions? Because it doesn't suit the road safety message.
