I doubt I am trumped. I can easily google what I have stated and find data to support it. I do not have to! My common sense knows a speeding vehicle causes more damage and fatalaties. Want to put it to a test? Let me hit your car from behind at 35 mph. Then let me hit you going 65 mph. Will you still believe the slower causes more damage?
What about your reaction time when you see the vehicles approaching? Will you have more time to get out of the way of a 35 mph vehicle or a 65 mph vehicle? Will you freeze in fear?
Drivers freeze when they see a speeding car approaching them. They instantly slow down. It is a knee jerk reaction.
So what if a car or cart is driving slow in the left lane? When you approach, you can pass them on the right. If that is impossible because of other traffic, what makes you believe the driver in the left lane can do the impossible?
