Lies, dammed lies, and statistics.

There is no doubt operating *any* vehicle poorly at high velocities has serious consequences.

It's the "operating poorly" bit that needs to be nipped in the bud. The aviation world sorted this out decades ago, without revenue raising or bubble wrapping.

The German system is not perfect, buy even by your figures 10% of fatalities for 30% of the total traffic simply does not add up. So who's telling porkies?
