Actually, this works.
"I was riding fast and hit someone," (who was where she was not supposed to be)
"therefore I hit someone because I was riding fast" (and didn't have adequate reaction time, braking power, and stopping distance)
Yep works for me in this instance.

I would be slowing down for blind curves from now on, though.
Never drive/ride faster than you can see.
