> The biggest problem in car accidents is speed differential.

Yes: it is way more dangerous to slam into a stationary object going 80mph than it is to be rear-ended by an object going 80mph while you're going 65. Only a 15mph differential in the initial collision.

Also, it almost never happens, compared to vehicles losing control due to excessive speed.
