You need to not completely miss the point.
But even missing the point, you are still wrong.
first off the amount of time you drive the speed limit vs. the amount of time you drive TWICE the speed limit (the speed limit probably wasn't 70 on a backroad btw) means that if you die in a car crash it is much more likely you will do so at "normal" speeds. Not to mention I don't have the stats on-hand and I'm sure it varies by area but more accidents are caused by improper driving (going to slow is a BIG one) than by speed, so you are wrong on a probability standpoint and a factual standpoint.
Not that it matters because you still miss the point that if I want to strap a fricken rocket to my Camaro and fire it off a cliff your job is to butt out unless the bottom of that cliff is a populated area. And if someone wants to get in ye olde rocket car of stupidity and certain death, by god strap us both in because either a) We are mature adults capable of making decisions for OURSELVES, or b) We are incredibly stupid and or lack of presence in the gene pool will be appreciated by the rest of the swimmers.
It's just rude (and insanely bad form) to start a reply with "you need to educate yourself"...thats how rude people and young people behave.
