Judy's nutty, but in general, speeders have no business telling non-speeders about compbuttion, seeing as they cause a lot more carnage. Dunkle claims he wasn't speeding in this case but he still got decked by the greatest nemesis of speeders: The Unexpected.
Posters have told me many times that nothing unexpected can really happen if one is "attentive enough," hence speeding can be done "safely." Now, your own homey has encountered precisely what you denied the existence of. What if he'd been going 10 MPH faster? 20 MPH? Would he even be alive today? Why do I even have to pose that question? I must be clinging to the belief that most of you speeders aren't as dense as you seem.
I like how Dunkle blames the crash on those Juyzee drivers. It could have happened anywhere. That's the nature of the unknown and that's why I always pick moderate speeds. Attentiveness plus less momentum means less potential for a hard impact. See www.science.org.au-nova-058-058key.htm
NY to CA 2775I've driven cross country (coast to coast) about a dozen times in as many years. Fast and scenic tend to be in contradiction. If you want scenic, avoid the Interstates...
When something unexpected, be it a moose, a blown tire, an ice patch, a fog bank or another driver catches you off guard, your whole screaming life is at the mercy of your brakes or steering! The more speed and momentum you have, the more risk you take on. Don't give me "Carl doesn't understand physics." Of course I do. I also understand how people can be incredibly stubborn when faced with facts.
It should be clear that the unexpected can happen ANY time, so you can't pick and choose when to speed "safely" and when not to. That's been the essence of my whole agenda that brings on so much mindless criticism. I'm telling you people that the faster you go, all other factors being equal, the more risk you incur. Correction: physics is telling you that, not me. And the higher risk doesn't stop with you. Everyone around you is potentially dragged into it.
Do you see my point, now that one of your gang got hurt by an unexpected event? He merely cracked his teeth, but if he'd died hitting a unexpected deer at 90 MPH the concept would be the same.
