| My point, as I've made elsewhere on this forum, is that the survival rates and braking distances are greatly affected by the speed at which a person is hit. 2.5% chance of death (20mph) compared to 20% (30mph) is a considerable difference. Braking speed is halved at 20mph than 30mph. Logic does dictate that going even slower will diminish the 2.5% chance even more, but we have to find a compromise. Personally I think 2.5% is worth the risk. 20% isn't. |
