motorway speed limit

everyday we're told that speed kills and the no.1 killer on the road is speed.

let me ask you something, malaysians are known to be friendly (not me), kind hearted ( me ), and also NOT VERY PUNCTUAL. majority of malaysian's are not punctual for any meeting, weddings, friend's wedding, doctor's appointment. the only time malaysian's are punctual is when they are about to take a flight...thats it..i know best.

the problem is our road networks aren't flowing cars fast enough. the reason is, speed kills....well thats not quite true actually. you see, 110 km/h speed limit is just about the same as it is in switzerland which is very car unfriendly. if you drive over the speed limit, you'll go to prison, thats it. 

RIGHT, switzerland is considered to have a good road safety record. let look at germany then ,which we all know is motorhead heaven, it has no speed limit. 
yet their death rates on the road is much less compared to malaysia. so what is this telling us.

besides proving that speed doesn't kill that much, it is also telling us that speed never kills. suddenly becoming stationary kills you.

we could up the speed limit in our contry's road network based on this fact. that speed doesn't kill. it wouldn't cause more death on the road....

the biggest killer on the road are incompetent driver, which bribe through their driving test, which is already simply enough.... here, we only have to take 1o hours of class before getting a license...that is why....!

150km/h speed limit?? i will like it even more!
