If I ran you over at 20 mph or at 30mph, what reduction of injuries would you expect?Lower speeds = less dead or seriously injured.
Simple enough?

meaningless waffle
Lower speeds = less dead or seriously injured.

I think you’d probably need to go a bit quicker to be sure of the desired result.If I ran you over at 20 mph or at 30mph, what reduction of injuries would you expect?

How many less dead based on your study?Lower speeds = less dead or seriously injured.

Speed does not cause vehicle related incident deaths ( I refuse to call them accidents ).
Bad driving causes most vehicle incidents & occasionally this results in death.

NonsenseWhy do you say that when it is untrue?
There is a correlation between speed and accident rates.
But even if there wasn't...
Even if the number of accidents was unrelated to speed, any accident is going to be more serious if speeds are higher.

The speed of impact yes. That does not necessarily equate to the free traveling speed.

The 20 on both trips, was completely ignored, we were doing an indicated 30 and 30+ through most of those.
I have complained to the authorities, but no one seems to care.
The 20 limit is not there for safety, or to improve the local amenity
- it's there simply as a money earner for local authorities

Being outside the law, you are not in a position to judge otherskeep going - you can lead a troll to truth but you can't make him think.![]()
With any crime, the police give up enforcing the law once a large number of people commit that crime. We see this with parking on the pavement. 20 mph zones, any crime committed by muslims, and of course cannabis....
