AMDifficulty 2/5

The higher the speed...

Correct answer

The consequences of a comparable collision tend to be more severe.

Higher speed increases kinetic energy and normally worsens the consequences of a comparable collision. It also increases stopping distance. Actual injuries depend on other factors, including impact and protection systems; not everyone necessarily suffers the same injury. Driving faster does not itself increase driver skill.
