the quest for safety

The risk of me causing an injury accident is demonstrably lower than for
the
general population. This is because injury accidents are closely related
to
speed, and I demonstrably drive much slower than the general population
in
most situations.
I have to disagree with you there. Speed is not a killer, merely a
difference in speed.
?? newun.
A fleet of cars all travelling at 90 mph down a stretch
of road (where the lie of the road permits) is just as safe as them doing
60.
No, because the ground and street furniture and trees are all going at 0mph.
Bigger difference in speed.
Even if we are talking about a light nudge at 60 or 90 that barely dents the
bodywork, a small possibility of losing control is enough to make a big
difference between the two.
