“It looks like the Germans are about to get a dose of the same. “Safety” hasn’t been warbled about yet – perhaps because Germany’s high-speed Autobahns are very safe. The overall accident rate is lower than that of the American Interstate System, probably because Germans are schooled and skilled to handle high-speed driving to a degree most Americans aren’t. And – being schooled and skilled to safely handle unrestricted speed driving, German drivers are almost axiomatically more skilled and safer drivers everywhere they drive.

To say something is a "cause" or "leading cause" of something, it needs to be mostly to blame and speeding (over the limit) is a primary contributing factor in a minor number of crashes in BC. It's also important to understand the difference between speeding "over the limit" and "speed related". The category of "speed related" covers a lot of offences, including excessive speed which can accompany intoxication and speeding too fast for conditions, which may not entail speeding at all (for instance driving at or under the speed limit on snow and ice). So, it is misleading to have a byline like this without making the distinction(s). We could go through this puff piece and rip it apart.
