Re:Safety first means safety last? (Score 0)

There are many times where you might want to go faster than the speed limit. For instance, say you are passing a car on a 2 lane road when another car turns onto the road in front of you. You either need to slam on the breaks and get back behind the car you were passing if traffic behind you has not closed up the gap, or speed up to get in front of the car. I spent over 10 years as a paramedic before working in IT and have seen many instances where speed has killed or injured, but I have also seen where people going to slow has done the same thing.
