well it didn't help Peter Brock - the fact remains that speed kills as it amplifies the other factors - inattention, drugs, loss of control of the vehicle.
Driver education misses the simple physics of what happens when 2 bodies collide - and the momentum that a car generates even at 60kph is really really dangerous. One slip and you are gone. That is how cars run off straight roads, or have head-ons without attempting to overtake - the common factor is excessive speed and overconfidence.
