I'd guess they are defining "speeding" as "exceeding the posted speed limit" and defining "unsafe speed" as "too fast for conditions," which can happen even when you aren't "speeding."
I'd agree with you if they hadn't later said that speeding accounted for 25% of the collisions. That's just

too many. Wait -- they also said that you can be speeding while doing less than the posted limits too.
It's a crappily done video -- At least two or three spelling errors, and their definition of "reaction time" is all over the place. And it would be easier to learn if they stuck with terminology -- key, repeated phrases. Why tell me a mnemonic if you keep using other terms to describe the same process?
Plus -- Jeff Altman. That can't be right.
Oh geez. The guy charged with running over the cabbie works for the Dept. of Health. Oh, and his name is Michael Jackson.
Oh, that is just too weird.
Yeeps.

From a link in that link:
Or maybe Encyclopedia Brown used flawed logic. (Didn't he once solve a case based on when a woman is more likely to manicure her fingernails? What a sexist little prig.)
I'll have to disagree with the "sexist little prig" opinion. When it's a fact, is it sexist? In chat just now, Andi mentioned, "Especially when [EB] was written, it was even more so." Unless, of course he said "A woman is more likely to manicure her nails before doing something very feminine, I guess. I don't recall that adventure, tho.
Look at me, defending my childhood hero. hee.
Hey Lee, was that tiki bar inside a hotel by any chance? I think I've been there.
It must be the same one. With a pool inside and a goofy animatronic rainstorm?
