Are you deliberately being argumentative, or just having a stupid day?
You do know that these "speed related" labels are used to justify lower
speed limits, right? Do you think that a lower speed limit would have
prevented this crash? Of course not. Do you think that another driver
traveling at the same speed could have avoided crashing? Sure sounds
like it... so HTF do you justify calling this "speed related?" If this
is "speed related" than every crash is speed related, as if neither of
the vehicles involved were moving the crash wouldn't have happened...
