    There's that nose thing. Oh, and paved roads.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Interesting concept; degrees of fatal? Sort of like being a bit pregnant.

    No you don't.

    Regardless of road conditions, the safest speed to travel on that particular piece of tarmac, is the speed at which you are under full control and have room for fuck ups and the unexpected.

    A 1km stretch of road could be safe at an average speed of 100km/h, but the same stretch could be 100% safe to reach 160km/h for half of that stretch and only 75km/h for half.

    There's no way a speed limit can be set for hundreds of kilometers of road and be deemed to be safe. The safest way to travel any road is to constantly assess the road, road condition and other factors to deem appropriate speed for any circumstance. Keep road users alert and thinking about the road, rather than hitting cruise control and watching the road go under their vehicles.

    Slower speeds are safer IF you crash. And if you have crashed, that means you weren't judging the road and other factors well enough. I'd rather have no road rash or panel damage than crash slow enough that I don't die.
