Excessive speeding is considered unsafe and it doesn't always have bad consequences. Driving drunk is considered unsafe and doesn't always have bad consequences.

That something doesn't have a bad consequence doesn't make it safe. Saying it does is just plain silly.

Your implication that we can only consider something as unsafe only when there are bad consequences is silly too.

Technically, there aren't always "bright line" differences between safe and unsafe. Technically, it's usually an issue of probabilty and risk.
