The World Shipping Council has a novel argument for why speed limits actually increase the chances of a collision: you’re in the area longer. Seriously. Why, this could revolutionize traffic safety!

Reminds me of the OLD joke:
Cop, addressing guy he just caught for speeding, “Wanta tell me why you’re in such a hurry?”
Miscreant: “Yeah, the brakes are out on this car and I was trying to hurry home before I had an accident.”
One would think that shipping something would require some knowledge of physics. Oh wait … that’s science. Our politicians told us that’s unnecessary.
Let’s face it- if you’re moving at the speed of light, who’s gonna hit you?
Zilch, I didn’t know it was the space-shipping council!
Anyway, this must be the same logic as to why it is more fuel-efficient to speed – you get there quicker, so your engine can be turned off earlier!
See? Improve your life through SCIENCE AND LOGIC!
