It shows the Subaru Tribeca as #5, that's not a sporty car, that makes no sense. Well, to tell the truth, I have gotten one speeding ticket in the Tribeca, at a speed trap between Ottawa and Montreal about 2 years ago, which is usually not there.

Wait, a ticket is not a crash. Let's see the list of more crashed cars and then lets speak about selfish, idiots and so on...

I'd sure like a WRX but I'm guessing the insurance is gonna be right up there. No fun for me!

No, idiot, what I think is that there are better cars than others and better drivers than others. As difficult as it is to manage that complexity (i.e. for insurance companies), lets go to see the facts: what cars (elected by the drivers) are more prone to accidents. To do that, you must exclude factors that affects the stats: the safer car is the car that is parked all time.

Speed limits in straigh highways are taxes. In Spain, the speed limits are unchanged or lowered in

30 years despite lots of improvement in security. Mayor loss of life happens in secondary ways. In Germany there are highways without any speed limit.

You are in contradiction: if it depends on visibility, how can a limit be set for night and day?

Do you really think that if there are no limits people drive much more different than now?

The response is simple: you can't speeding. There is something called congestion that implies you can't.

But you are a sheep, not a human, so I can't argue with you. Call your human owner to discuss about good and bad rules.

Not exactly. Where I live on Long Island, the speed limit on the highways was 65 MPH. That was changed around 1974 as a result of the "gas crisis" when the national speed limit was reduced to 55 MPH in order to conserve fuel. There is no gas shortage anymore and 40 years later the speed limit here is still 55 MPH on the highways. Have the road conditions changed on 40 years that make it unsafe to drive at 65 MPH? The answer is no and there have been many improvements made on the highways that would actually allow for higher speeds but the speed limit is still kept at 55. But if the limit was raised, there would be less speeding tickets issued and that's the real crux - they wany our money. We have red light cameras everywhere and now are seeing speed cameras going up everywhere. "They" keep saying it's all about safety yet the majority portion of any statements they make about this highlights how much revenue they expect. At some red light cameras, there signs warning about them a certain distance before the light. As revenue started to decrease, the warning sign came down. When that wasn't enough, they started handing out tickets to any motorist who did not stop completely behind the white painted stop line on the road.
