All of you anti speeding fan boys, I wonder if you people actually listen to yourselves... Speed alone is not the deciding factor accidents. Its been proven in countless studies that people who are drive slower are less attentative to the road and less likely to pay attention to details on the road... There was a case here in AZ that proves exactly that; there was a stalled car on a freeway where speed was 45mph because of construction and this car was rear ended at exactly the speed limit which is insanely slow. When questioned by the police, the offender said that they were driving slow and didnt think there would be any danger to look out for because of it.

But fine, have it your way and NO ONE SPEEDS, the local and feds are really going to love this shit because, now, a significant source of revenue is now omitted from their budget. So now, they will further lower them to what... 5 mph, 4mph? Do the math, its being illustrated in Europe now artificially lowering the speeds so the Gatsos can extort money from the people.

I have NEVER disagreed with NHTSA recommendations with speed and traffic laws, I believe this organization puts in due research and adjusts recommendations accordingly to safety; however, many municipalities will set limits much lower than the suggested limits.

The ONLY guaranteed factors with speed are reduced reaction time (debatable to a drivers attentativeness) and increased impact inertia.

Yes, driving TOO fast can be just as dangerous as driving too slow, but have you ever heard of propaganda? Come on everybody, do the propaganda, lets not question anything the feds and govts dress up and tell us.

Honestly, what is your real concern, safety or revenue?

Another thing, redlight cameras? Have you seen the dramatically increased rear end collisions from people slamming on brakes because they dont wanna get caugth in a yellow?

Please be reasonable and consider all sides of this issue before being a fan boy and gloating speed is bad!

I'm not an "anti-speeding fanboy"... I'm an anti-not-paying-attention-while-driving-fanboy.

Thanks for posting, this SHOULD be played at high schools.

I can imagine that in this country how there would be so much complaints coming from parents saying how this is too graphic and is not appropriate for their kids to see.

Great video btw
