    At 180mph you only have to encounter one panicked bystander to cause a few deaths, including your own.

    Even the best driver in the world shares the road with everyone else.

      This reminds me of my parents explaning to me as a kid that even if you are the best driver in the world, everyone else is not and they cannot read your mind. So it would still be dangerous.

        Pick a top professional motorsport like F1, NHRA, MotoGP. They have the best vehicles and drivers in the world. Mostly competing on closed courses with unidirectional flow. Still regularly have equipment failure and misjudgment lead to collisions. On a race course everyone agrees to the heightened level of risk.
