When i was little we would go on vacation to the south of france. People drove there like absolute maniacs. In one town there was a sign that said something like: if you drive 80kmh through here instead of 50kmh, you save 30 seconds. Is it worth to kill someone for 30 seconds? It was a big, official side on both sides of the town and it was there for a decade or so. I always wondered why things like that aren't more common. I don't think a lot of carbrains understand how little time you actually save when speeding and overtaking.
