Only if you let your bias get in the way.

They taught me to be objective and not let personal bias interfer with
my thinking.

And many of those are people intentionally violating a posted speed
limit.  You can't divorce the two.  This is a common error made by the
pro-speed crowd.

My findings on the causes of crashes are routinely reviewed by higher
authority and often by the courts and juries.   Perhaps my opinion
carries no weight with you but it does where it counts and that's all
that really matters now isn't it?   You're more than welcome to dig up
any of my invetigations and try and debunk them.    Anecdotal?  Think
again.

I have for a number of years.  I love to drive fast but the reality of
the possible consequences keeps getting in the way.
