I guess I should have said something besides "minimal relation to speed." I was thinking about 40-60mph roads where you have a good chance of being killed in a broad side accident whether the other driver is going the speed limit or 10-20 over. I'm really surprised by how many people don't look twice or three times before turning into an oncoming lane.
I don't see nearly as much danger in going twice the speed limit on a limited access highway versus 10 mph over the speed limit on a road with cross streets.
