    But if both of the persons you’re talking about are focused on driving, the one doing 140 km/h is probably more likely to end up in some kind of accident. Of cause this will vary on the given situation.

      I hope that people driving 140 km/h are more focused on driving then I am. Driving 100 km/h in normal conditions in Spain I barely have to overtake any cars. I have to be aware of what’s more than 100 m in front of me most of the time because there’s simply nothing closer. Driving at 120+ km/h you overtake all the time, you drive way closer behind other cars and you have to check mirrors all the time. So there’s different level of focus required at higher speeds.

        Exactly, more focus is required. Meaning that people are more likely to screen things up. Also, other cars around might not be so focused on the car coming from behind at high speeds, making accidents more likely - even if the high speed driver is focused.
