we're talking about fatal accidents here
You're saying speed is the least deciding factor? Take a good example this BMW here
minor accidents of course it doesn't
but accidents with fatalities, I can strongly say it does

well let me put it in a way that u could understand. speed alone doesnt kill. if u abuse speed or trying to do something not really within ur ability then accident will happen. and as u drove fast and accident happen of coz chances of fatality will happen.
in this BMW case firstly i m not sure how fast he drove n how he drove the car but i m sure the reason he crashed aint becoz the speed. its the driver trying to do something shud i say dumb? coz the BMW could take much more speed in those corners.. i meant more than 200.. haha don think u can imagine what i m saying as u only stick to 110.. sorry.. after all seems like i cant get u to understand something so basic

of course speed alone doesn't kill
you said his was trying to do something dumb, okay fine i agree
and why did he crash again?why did he lose control when he was trying to do something dumb? obviously he was speeding wasn't he, just look at the damage on the car, you're telling me you can damage a car like that going 80km/h?
anyway if he applied brakes at 80km/h he probably would have gotten the car to at least 40km/h
so are you saying 40km/h will break the bmw into pieces like that?

[/b][/quote]haha at last u got what i meant.. like i said if a driver knows how to drive within his limit and pay attention to the road nothing will even happen right? the fact he crash happen solely becoz he drive outside his limit and therefore u cant blame speed.. the primary reason is he dint drive in a way that is safe for him and therefore abuse speed into something that hurts him
well another is if he did drove below 100 he wont get into accident anyway as i think that kind of speed could be handled easily even a person that jus get his license. and hence ur assumption of crashing at that speed doesnt seems to work out for me.
