absolutely.
I wasn't so much suggesting that we should drive at 120mph here, but more that in some places, highway speed limits are imho way too rigorously enforced (in the name of revenue generation, but in the guise of safety). Really, other problematic driving behaviour should imho be targeted more, but it may be simply that a quantitative measurement is more prosecutable...
5th Gear is funny to me... they go way overboard on the sensationalist stuff, I suppose to compete with Top Gear (which is a lot better imho), and in the process, they make some pretty significant factual mistakes and gross generalizations along the way. It is true though, if you drive a car at 120mph straight into a concrete wall, it is going to more than hurt! don't do that!
