  • Speeding was a factor in 17% of road fatalities in 2009, same percentage as booze.

    You can find selective reports that minimise the impact of speeding. It's a robust rule that speeding, either above the limit or inappropriate for the conditions, is a factor in a third of all RTC fatalities. And, once again, deaths from speeding is not the broader picture because many people not killed by speeding drivers are nonetheless negatively impacted by people using public roads as private racetracks.
