And what would have happened if he had been doing 60 and hit his
brakes at the last second?  His head would have been chopped off less?

I don't know what's more annoying.  

The fact that we keep seeing this argument that a stoned speeder on a
curvy road is the equivalent of a sober speeder on a long, high
visibility stretch. 

Or

The fact that you must know that you're doing an apples/oranges thing,
and you do it anyway, as some sort of macho "I know all, you haven't
seen what I've seen" trip.

And why can't you compare apples and oranges, anyway?  I've compared
them;  I prefer apples.
