Hi Ms. Pint!

In spite what has been stated in other threads, there has never been any correlation between speed and traffic fatalities, unless it's a study funded by an insurance company. As speeds have increased over the last 20 years with the repeal of the dreaded "double nickel", fatalities have continued to go down.

Chalk a lot of that up to much safer cars and highways, but speed as the actual cause of an accident is not that common.

P.S. - liked the old avatar!
