Speed is but one of the factors.
Motor fatalities in southeast Asia are staggering and unequalled, anyway – right?
What a vivid piece!

it depends on what you are used to. Here in Germany we have no speed limits on the Autobahn (not quite true, but nearly so).
I went to the airport at Frankfurt to pick up a visitor from California. His first time (at 60+) outside the US. I barrelled us home from the airport in just over an hour, that’s about a 130 mph average. Only when he got out and his knees collapsed, did I realise he’d never (been) driven faster than 55 mph in his whole life. OOOps ;)
