Powerful engines, safe cars ....
think we can say that the limits are inadequate and difficult to meet.
In fact it 's true: I often find that the limits are unjustifiably low. Never or almost never are too high.
The speed 'is still a risk factor, although not the only one.
Let's exercise and the extreme: if all were going to max 20 km / h how many fatalities there would be? Now
extremes on the other side: if all were going at 200 km / h how many fatalities there would be every day?
Now think of all the shades in between: and 'more clear that' we move from 20 to 200 km / h more 'risk rises: and' mathematical, although clearly linked to many other conditions.
The fact that there are other risk factors does not allow us to underestimate this risk factor, and that 'one of the major contributory factors in accidents. No one would dream of saying that it is not 'the case to punish the theft until' around there 'who injures or kills.
Think high-traffic, non-compliance of the safety distance and distraction, all at the same time: this can cause an accident, but if the speed 'and vehicles' 20 Km / h what will happen'? Almost nothing, unless thrown on the floor a motorcyclist or a pedestrian and then they run into them or you go to 20 km / h against a wall before which a person is stopped. It 'clear, however,' that these cases are unlikely at least (20 per hour and also easily avoidable :-). Think instead of the causes mentioned above (which often occur mainly in the cities') and try to gradually increase the speed 'of vehicles: I think the consequences are clear as the velocity' increases ...
Another very important thing. It 's true that cars are more' safe and maybe braking more 'readily (but also depends on road conditions). But the main problem we are on the roads: 50 years ago and now our ability 'and our response "reflections" were exactly the same (except for those who already' driving 50 years ago for them maybe they are a bit 'damaged. .. :-)). In the time between the onset of a problem or a danger and the moment when the vehicle starts to brake or steer we travel so much more 'street as much as' tall 'our speed'. Even this aspect and 'mathematical and we can not disregard it.
may seem trivial to you my considerations, but it would be good that we take account of their essence when you are 'in the street driving a vehicle.
