I'm not defending anyone, idiot. Read MaDalton's link on death's per million and I want you to come back and elaborate on your claim that 130mph is inherently more unsafe than 70mph in all conditions.
Speed limit being set is set at 70mph doesn't translate to "ZERO reason to go 130 MPH". That's not very rational logic. The reason the speed limit is set at 70mph is because it's the lowest common denominator of performance capabilities of vehicles currently on the road.
It's sort of like everyone flying around in Cessna 177's with a max airspeed of 142 mph, so you say "It's extremely unsafe to travel at mach 1". Yeah, it's unsafe for YOU to travel at mach 1, your fucking wings will rip off and your aircraft will disintegrate. It's not unsafe for the guy flying a Lockheed F22 at mach 1.
You fail to take into account that there are a lot of machines on the road that are designed to safely achieve this level of performance without any problems.
