A very good reason not to speed

It was impressive when the Mythbusters [1] rammed a 650mph (Miles Per Hour) rocketsled into a car [2], but let's face it, in our day-to-day lives I doubt we'll be involved in a head-on collision with a rocketsled. Or anything moving at 650mph. But a collision at 120mph [3]? (link via Instapundit [4])

Wow.

And not in a good way.
