Yeah, I can't argue with this. That escape route, or "buffer," is all-important, as is the exercise of common sense. The faster you drive, the more you have to assume people aren't going to realize how much faster you are going relative to other vehicles in the immediate area, at least for a second or two. And..sometimes..that's all it takes to create a very dangerous situation. And if you're doin' 20 or 30 above the limit and something bad happens, almost invariably you are the one to blame---logically and legally. It's almost an assumption of risk kind of thing.
