It takes a lot more effort to go more than 85mph (and the engine has to work differently depending on the environment).

Someone stepping on the pedal and being where a pedestrian is in 2 seconds could be very fatal for inexperienced drivers.

Probably far more likely to be fatal for the pedestrian
