Lots more good driving going on than wrecks. All above 85MPH. And the F-16 pilots that I feed every drill weekend do really well above 85MPH. ;>)

I guess you never noticed but there is a huge difference between driving on a public road and driving a race course. I could be here all day listing all the differences.

I could post some aircraft accident shots too, but you know the drill. Being lucky isn't the same as being perfectly in control. Human reflexes, of course, fall in a Gaussian distribution like most everything else, but there are orders of magnitude in difference between what 110 mph speeds can demand and what the best human reflexes can achieve in an emergency.

Eventually technology may bridge the gap there with computer control in emergency situations.
