    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    I used to live about 5 minutes from that stretch of road, it's open, clear, there is excellent visibility and you are well away from any residential areas.

    Of course the bike cop was also doing 154mph along the same road, but yet he's being "safe"...

    Going fast isn't dangerous. Stopping too quickly is, however.

    That's like a car driver saying "I always pull out in front of bikers. It's not the pulling out that's dangerous, it's the biker hitting me", isn't it????

    Not really. Does speed kill? Not by itself it doesn't. but the sudden stop does. In your scenario pulling out in front of bikers (the equivalent of speeding in your example) will almost always result in an accident, regardless of the environment (ie a congested street or an open airfield). Speeding down a congested street may quite well end in an accident, but speeding along an empty airstrip will most certainly not (excluding mechanical failure).

    I guess soon the Police comments regarding crashes will go along the lines of: 'It is believed that stopping excessively quickly was a factor in the death of the motorist'

    Well.... YES!
    It always annoys me when they say "Speed was a factor".
    OF COURSE it was! Unless the motorist was sat there doing ZERO, there was definatly a factor of speed.
