I don't disagree with that whatsoever.
But what Regorium said was this:
- Going under the speed limit is absolutely worse than speeding.
Absolutely worse. He is stating that in 100% of situations, speeding is safer than going under the speed limit. Yes, going under the limit can be dangerous, no doubt about it. But to say that going under the limit is
absolutely more dangerous than speeding is completely false.
And:
- If you're doing 80 on deerfoot, you are endangering many many more people than the guy that's doing 120. For the guy doing 120, he's only endangering himself.
Also totally incorrect. For the guy doing 120, not only is he endangering himself, but in the event that he crashes into another vehicle/other vehicles, and not just the ditch where nobody else is hit, then he's absolutely endangering everyone else around him. And quite frankly, if you crash your car on Deerfoot at most times of day, you'll be taking someone out with you.
That's the issue I took with the comments.
