It is also much easier to lose control of a vehicle when you are speeding. I drove home from Banff tonight. Even though I had the cruise set to 120, I kept getting passed constantly by huge Dodge and Ford trucks going 160Kph. In a pig of a vehicle like that, if you need to swerve to avoid wildlife (or whatever) you are toast.
