I used to go to Germany on business regularly and drove on the autobahn. If you are doing 150 mph in the left (passing) lane and get hit by a car doing 180 mph, you are at fault for obstructing traffic!
Higher speed must be safer since autobahn drivers only have one accident.
Now there's some real Campfire reasoning!
(I did detect a note of sarcasm in your post, didn't I ?)
