The real danger is driver distraction/inattention. A higher speed will certainly lower reaction time and increase the severity of most accidents.   However, it is rarely the CAUSE of the accident.  If everybody was aware of their surroundings and the movements of the other cars we could safely travel at much higher speeds.  Unfortunately, it is dificult to police driver attention, it is much easier to fine speeders.  I commute 75 miles each day.  I average  at least 2 evasive maneuvers everyday to avoid an accident when some inattentive driver violates the rules of the road.  Their speed is not a factor, unless they are going too slow.  Lower speed limits do not make them pay better attention to their fellow drivers.  If anything, the lower speed limits create the safety margin needed to allow for inattentive drivers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[endodoc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 17th 2006 10:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nissan prepping "intelligent" transportation safety system]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/17/nissan-prepping-intelligent-transportation-safety-system/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/17/nissan-prepping-intelligent-transportation-safety-system/</guid><description><![CDATA[No one is going to buy a car that alerts them that they are speeding. That would get rather annoying.  When it comes to "intelligent" cars I think it is an all or nothing deal.  Either every car just drives itself or none do.  This whole system, like endodoc has pointed out, is only going to give people another thing to be distracted by.   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tay Ween]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 17th 2006 10:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nissan prepping "intelligent" transportation safety system]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/17/nissan-prepping-intelligent-transportation-safety-system/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/17/nissan-prepping-intelligent-transportation-safety-system/</guid><description><![CDATA[My current navigation system warns me if I'm going faster than the speed that is stored on the mpa CD for the road I'm on. Not perfect, but I actually like it. Stuff like this Nissan proposed system and the systems Siemens is working on (among other things: reading road signs to get a better accurate picture of current road speed conditions and warning you if you go over them) actually seem like not such a bad idea. Provided you can turn them off if you don't want to that information. I agree with you that a lot of drivers would probably hate it...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jarno Peschier]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2006 6:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nissan prepping "intelligent" transportation safety system]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/17/nissan-prepping-intelligent-transportation-safety-system/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/17/nissan-prepping-intelligent-transportation-safety-system/</guid><description><![CDATA[It all makes since now.
