I don't want to get involved with the radar/laser detector/jammer debate. I have a radar detector, and I'll leave it at that.
But what does irk me is the general impression that speeding is not dangerous. Let me put it this way:
Speed is not dangerous.
Speeding is.
The danger doesn't come from your speed, it comes from the difference between your speed and the speed of the other drivers. I tell the same thing to the people who think its safer to drive 10 under the speed limit than it is to drive the speed limit. There's a reason there's a minimum speed on the interstate.
The other thing to think about is that roads are maintained to the level of their speed limit. A road meant to be driven at 40 can stand to have a lot more surface imperfections (such as pot holes and cracks) than a road meant to be driven at 65.

P.S. - before people jump on me, I'm not a police officer - I'm an EMT. I don't want you to need somebody like me.
