1	If a police officer told a woman that if she broke the law she'd be raped, he'd lose his job. Apparently male rape is an acceptable thing to threaten someone with. I see crap like this all the time, and I feel like I'm the only one who takes it seriously. And yet everyday on motorways up and down the UK people speed and don't cause injuries. What matters is the ratio of speeding related fatalities and accidents to non-speeding related fatalities and accidents. One wonders if theory translate into reality as simply as you present it. That's why I provided a few sources and studies. Also, road quality is a diverging factor. A competant driver adapts to to road quality, maintains thier tyres, etc. Only an incompetant driver doesn't. You know about c…	/r/MensRights	14/10/10 11:06 PM

I see crap like this all the time, and I feel like I'm the only one who takes it seriously. You are not attacking my points made previously, but rather constructing a straw man. Let me show you what I mean. But first, let me defend against this statement: It doesn't matter how concrete the evidence is, because it's not as simple as your making it out to be. While I'm all for philosophy, let's not draw the epistemology card just yet. Evidence is the best thing we have for making judgement calls and speeding is dangerous by almost all metrics. Ok, now for whats wrong with your most recen…	/r/MensRights	12/10/10 05:08 AM

Motor vehicle deaths 15 percent higher on roads in 24 states that raised speed limits. http://www.iihs.org/research/topics/speed.html For more I interpreted your comment to mean that you believe the IIHS to be reliable. Since they agree with the government studies, it doesn't change much.	/r/MensRights	12/10/10 02:57 AM

I see crap like this all the time, and I feel like I'm the only one who takes it seriously. First, I gave some statistics that indicate a strong correlation between speeding and fatality rates in accidents. I feel those statistics alone support the notion of a decrease in safety. There are many more resources online and in print if you don't like mine. I'll find a few of them for you: "Motor vehicle deaths 15 percent higher on roads in 24 states that raised speed limits" http://www.iihs.org/research/topics/speed.html If you like the IIHS for stats. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeding…	/r/MensRights	12/10/10 02:51 AM

I see crap like this all the time, and I feel like I'm the only one who takes it seriously. We honestly don't know much about this situation, so I can't go into the detail you asked for. The road's surface is of unknown quality. There seems to be a couple of cars on the road. The sky is blue, but the road could still be wet. There are so many other factors. However, fast driving still decreases gas mileage, increases chance of tire blowouts, and so on regardless of conditions. You are correct in stating that strait roads are safer, but you are asking for too much if you want me to play…	/r/MensRights	11/10/10 09:59 PM

I see crap like this all the time, and I feel like I'm the only one who takes it seriously. I looked around for statistics knowing the NHTSA wouldn't be popular here. Most sites I found referenced them as a source. All the sites I found in some way supported the notion that speeding was dangerous. Then again, I only looked for ~10 minutes. Would you accept data from the uk as 'better'? I'm guessing government agencies and insurance companies gather most of the data for transportation safety.	/r/MensRights	11/10/10 08:11 PM

I see crap like this all the time, and I feel like I'm the only one who takes it seriously. Speeding show a disregard for the safety of others, and while some may speed their entire lives without injury, speeding increases the likelihood of accidents regardless of the driver's skill. Here are somethings to consider: Speeding increases the time and distance needed to stop a car greatly. You can easily be forced into a situation where it is impossible to stop in time. (i.e. v=-15(ft/s2)t+v0 => x=-7.5t2+v0x => stopping distance=(v02)/30) Speeding greatly decreases gas mileage. (not a safe…	/r/MensRights	11/10/10 07:14 PM
