Is it illegal to go faster than the speed limit?

Can a car crash into a wall at 70 mph?
Don’t crash your car into a wall if you are going 70 mph even if the car has a huge spring on it. UPDATE: I was wrong (as pointed out in the comments). The table above says that the time is in minutes, not seconds. Dooh! Anyway, looking again at Wikipedia’s human tolerance page – it lists 50 g’s as pretty much fatal.
What’s the difference between crashing at 70 mph and 85 mph?
To explore the difference between crashing a car at 70 mph and 85 mph, I will use a model. This car doesn’t have a crumple zone, it has a huge spring on the front.
The speed sensor code is likely due to sensor failure, or a bad connection. In the case of a bad connection, a good visual inspection… I would like to know if the tps sensor can affect the transmission shift. Hi there. Sounds like the transmission range selector sensor is failing.
Is it dangerous to drive at high speed?
The person would actually move forward more than the car (and decrease the acceleration). The person is not rigidly attached to car (at least I hope not). Driving is dangerous. Driving is especially dangerous if there are walls in the road. I would just avoid any road like this.
