you have to be able to drive as fast as the roadway allows to get where you're going without needing to think about the safety of others.
if some kid runs out in front of your car, its not going to be a question of if you were driving to fast but one of "where the hell were the parents?"
the assumption being that the vehicle occupant has the right to get where they're going absolutely as goddamn fast as is humanly possible and nothing had better get in their way.
