Absolutely and obviously until you get someone merging at 30 into a highway; merging at far lower speeds is very dangerous. Blind turns not going a reasonable speed limit can also be dangerous. Like, I fuckin hate cars. i bike everywhere. But I’m not going to make a take like “being slower is never as dangerous”
You’re misrepresenting what I’m saying. I just mean it’s not equally dangerous. If we’re comparing comparable speed differences it’s much safer to drive slower. Yes, 30 mph slower is dangerous but less so than driving 30 mph faster.
Generally the safest speed would be the slowest one that doesn’t create a hazard through speed differential with traffic.
It’s absolutely and obviously untrue that driving slower is equally dangerous.
