| >It's all about money. Actually a lot of money. The DOT estimates that the total cost of someone being killed on the road is just over £2.4m. Gigantic. A serious injury is £271,000. Massive. Even a “slight” injury is nearly £21,000. Huge. The cost is calculated on the cost to society. When you get to 10 fewer deaths you have made a saving of £24m – and that is not even counting the savings to the NHS after people take up cycling or go walking instead of driving. How do I know these figures? Since my opinion is so obviously correct I didn't have to trawl the net to find these figures to back me up! |
