If Speed Kills Why Am I Here?

If "speed kills" then I ought to be dead. I flew in a jet plane once. It was speeding along at 900 kph. Come to think of it, you and I are "speeding" through space right now at what... ludicrous speed? All this is by way of derailing criticism for a new proposal to increase the speed limit on Ontario's 400 highways from 100 kph to 110 kph. That's right. The speed everybody drives at anyway. The article points out that it is not speed per se that's dangerous, it's variation in speed. Yup, it's not the speed that kills you. It's the sudden stop. Anyway watch this sensible idea get shot down in a miasma of sanctimony from all manner of societal "advocates".
