> FWIW, speeding causes actual deaths of members of society

It's more the culture and actions that go around it. Speeding's bad when you're not paying attention. Even driving slowly is bad if you're in the overtake lanes. I think it's much more about paying attention to one's sorroundings. I'm not saying this should apply near residential homes, but I do speed on highways because I can go fast and I only overtake through the left-most lane; I use blinkers, I light cars to let them know. I don't overtake in curves. I don't put people in danger. I don't go through yellow/reds. But to be honest, my situation is probably far more different that in the US, I live in Mexico. Most people here do speed and there's barely any authority to stop vehicles from speeding.
