Lately the item of speeding has come up quite a bit lately. On the freeways now I see signs that say SPEED KILLS. And in today's paper (OC Register, Local Section Speeding 100 mph in Prius, no joke) is another discussion of how dangerous speed is.

I drive fast but I believe in control and I only speed when it is safe to do in my opinion but it seems that this issue may be getting worse for those that drive above the posted limit which is quite a few in Southern California. I do not speed above the limit in residential areas or where children are present.

My argument is that speed does not kill but lack of knowing how to drive properly and car control is what kills. I don't believe traffic school is an aqeduate solution to a ticket but a driving school in which people are instructed on how to drive properly. I have had my license for 10 years now and I have a total of 3 tickets, all speeding for 10-15 miles over the posted limit.

What are your opinions? Am I not seeing the whole issue?
