Around 45,000 people die on the highways every year in the US. In the majority of those fatal accidents, speed was either the cause or a significant contributing factor.

People drive MUCH faster on 4-lane highways.

I drive every day, Monday through Friday. If I drive the Interstate, I see at least one accident every day. If I drive the two-lanes, I see an accident about every 2 months.

Maybe "overcautious" is a kinder word than paranoid. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
