I would also think that a rapid deceleration or change of direction of the
head would cause some tearing of the dura mater and the blood vessels in the
brain - in extremis causing cerebral haemorrhaging. (sp?)

A bit like boxing or 'shaken baby' syndrome.

I have no problems with people speeding per se. It's when the dozy buggers
take someone else out (especially me or mine) that I get a little peeved.
