lifer. Let's simplify this.
If I am travelling 100kph and you are travelling 200kph on the same road. By your logic you are safer, because you will be on the road for less time, in fact half the time as me. Come on, you don't actually think that do you? You are looking at this with way too small of a perspective.

Your hockey example doesn't work. Because in every driving example the cars are going the same distance (length of hockey game) and the variable is the time travelled (you would have to change the speed at which the tape of the hockey game was playing). In fact you have just used your own logic against yourself. What you are saying is that the slow driver is the person watching the game for 10 minutes and the fast driver is the person watching the same 10 minute game but sped up into 9 minutes. So who is more likely to see a goal scored (get into an accident)? The person watching the game at normal speed (100kph driver) or the person watching the game at 1.1 times faster (110kph)? Logic would dictate the slower person is more likely to see a goal scored, and the slower driver is more likely to avoid an accident.
