And how many automobiles driven in the US are safe at 110 mph? Very few. For example, most US cars don't have high performance tires rated for those speeds. Throw in the fact that many cars are poorly maintained and these speeds become dangerous, irrespective of the qualitites of the driver.

By the way, you are wrong about reflexes not playing a role. They play a big role and there are definite limits to what a person is capable of on a public road.
