Speeding = you are to fast according to the allowed speed

High speed = anything above 130 km/h (about 80 mph; because that is the recommend speed on an Autobahn)

Very high speed = anything above 250 km/h (about 155 mph; because that is where normally the limiter kicks in)

Just, yesterday morning I drove my self at about 200 km/h (124 mph) because I was in hurry, because I had some unexpected road-construction work before.

This was an 18 year old girl, who just had her driving license (18 is the minimum legal age for driving here in Germany; 17 with governed driving by an adult)

Here an comparable accident who lifted for 40m (131ft) and crashed in a field with some rollover and it does not look that different from that Tesla accident: http://www.swp.de/heidenheim/lokales/polizeibericht/Auto-lan...

BTW: Are there any international news on how the safety cell of this BMW protected this 51 year old guy?

The gap between speeding and high speed is only 10mph or so but very high speed is nearly double? I don't think that's a reasonable definition. Most people rarely or never go over about 110ish? That would be my definition of very high speed. Even on the Autobahn - where presumably there are sections where a greater proportion of the population have done higher speeds - the rest of the world's perception and the kinetic energy doesn't decrease.

It's not an ordered system where speeding < high speed < very high speed.

You can be going at high speed, but not speeding because you are not breaking any law about going 'too fast'.

On the other hand, you can be speeding at 20mph because you are inside a public garage and the limit was actually 5mph.

How would you classify Formula 1 cars' speeds? (320 km/h or 200 mph)
