Now I'm not wanting to start a speeding is safe, safer, safest under certain conditions and I will agree that there is probably good speed and bad speed but......

If you are on a "deserted country road" doing whatever speed then it's not deserted at all, if you are on said road chances are someone else is also on said road, what if they cut a corner just a little too much, hit a rough surface (pothole etc), swerved just a little to avoid an animal- dead or alive as country roads have a few of them, while your coming the other way?

How many single vehicle accidents occur on "deserted roads" involving death and/or serious injury? I'll bet the persons driving thought what they were doing was "safe" too

Are other people not entitled to share the roads in a reasonably safe manner?

What is "safe, safer or safest speeding if such a thing exists 10mover the limit, or if I drive a really safe driver with a car with abs, traction control,'air bags, automated anti death devices etc etc and I've driven safely for 20 plus years is doing 280km/h safe? Who's to say? What qualifies them to say?
