Nonsense. Some people brake (slow down) before collisions others don't. The deaths or serious injuries are always with faster speeds.Confusing free travelling speed with impact speed. You only have to look at the K & SI figures in urban roads to know this argument is flawed. off the top of my head... 40% of traffic exceed 30 mph limit, yet less than 3% of those hit are fatalities. If the above is a valid reason to reduce speed limits we’d expect K to be something like 10 times more than it is in 30 limits.
The last government tried to make exceeding the speed limit as socially unacceptable as drink driving. After 20 years of trying attitudes haven’t changed.
some believe the slower we all drive the less people will be killed others believe it’s the way we drive that is important. Looking properly and adapting to the conditions is way more important and not just for drivers. Cyclists and pedestrians also need to take responsibility for their safety and look.
