Think your analogy is wrong. He had a gun and knew there was a chance a bullet would come down and hit somebody. He still fired the shot.
There really is no excuse for speeding. I think the figure of 30% of fatal car crashes are down to speeding.

In particular, speeding is a norm in many places in the United States. If you are not going five to ten miles above the speed limit, people are likely to be actively passing you or driving too close behind you. I suspect it's safer to go five miles above the speed limit than have people constantly passing you because you're going slower than everyone else. (That said... I do wish speed limits were limits, and everyone followed them perfectly.)
Speed limits are there for a reason.
