Since we are all so quick to jump on the bandwagon agreeing with Bek that indeed speed does count, why is it that the grandfather of VC John Forester so often disagreed that speed is an issue, and that speed should not matter, and never mind that the speeds of roads has been increasing in places like southern California, and that the average American car now has the acceleration abilities of muscle cars of days of old?
Either Forester didn't get it, or you guys are not getting it. BTW for the record, I too believe that speed counts... and I argued that point often with Forester, even quoting his book where he mentions that a difference of 15MPH can make "negotiating" with motorists "impossible."
