Then why are you accusing me of not wanting them?

You're the one telling me I'm causing a danger by breaking the speed
limit law regardless of what that limit is.

WHAT evidence?!?!  That higher speeds result in more crashes?  On a
national scale it doesn't happen.

Apparently you get a unique version of them, because I have no idea
what you're going on about.

Nor have you, Earl.  You refuse to answer all questions that you don't
like.

So all that information collected nationally from accident
investigators doesn't represent the opinions of accident
investigators?  If anything the FARS information is biased in your
favour since the FARS data entry techs have the ability to add speed
related to the accident if they think the accident should have it.

Pretty sad Earl, holding on to an emotionally charged argument and
ignoring the actual numbers.
