Here is a thought.  So what.  When you travel that fast, youtake a risk.  
I personally accept that risk and try to minimize it as much as possible. 
 but there are a billion variables.

I dont understand why anyone should be able to tell anyone else the level 
of risk they should take.  Along this vane, its silly for the government 
to mandate seat belt usage, helmets on motorcycles, or even drugs.  All 
they are doing is telling people not to take risks with their own lives.  
Seriously, there is no real risk to the passenger if there is an accident 
and the driver isnt wearing their seat belt, or if a motorcyclist isnt 
wearing a helmet, it doesnt endanger anyone else.

Everyone should be responsible for their own risk...
