How many stationary vehicles are responsible for pedestrian deaths, v's those vehicles travelling at speed? The speed of the vehicle in a collision is always a factor, regardless of who is driving.

The speed of impact yes. That does not necessarily equate to the free traveling speed.
SMOOTHER driving, you say...
What about the thousands of roads in London where there's no traffic, especially during certain hours, where everyone is crawling at 20mph polluting more than when they were smoothly driving at 30 or 40 mph with engine hitting a "sweeter spot"?
20mph limit should be only where there's real need, near schools, narrow roads, etc.
The emperor wants all roads within the M25 at 20mph.
And, as a sideline, he now wants to impose a new tax on SUVs.
That includes family cars like the Ford Kuga.
In the meantime he travels in a convoy of 3 armoured Range Rovers (£400k each paid by us) and 2 marked police cars (paid by us) at any speed he likes because they stop traffic when he's on the move.
keep going - you can lead a troll to truth but you can't make him think.
It's weird. It's almost like they know speed is a factor but would rather squirm and bullshít their way around it. And when they see that deaths and serious injuries has fallen since the introduction of the 20MPH limit, they refuse to believe their own eyes.keep going - you can lead a troll to truth but you can't make him think.
Trés odd.
