anyone more of this nonsense and you'll be marked as a troll if you're
not already

Your point was this:

How does travelling at a slow speed cause someone to crash?


and I've answered that. Does the "someone" have to be the same person
that was travelling at the slow speed? I've answered that too in point
2 (saying they will be on the road longer and are therefore likely to
lose concentration).

So you drive slowly, your journey takes 3 hours instead of 2, after 3
hours your concentration has lapsed, you don't pay full attention,
crash.


That depends on the indivual and whilst true for some isn't true for all.
But it's not the speed that's the cause of the crash, it's the failure to
concentrate.

We know that attempting to take a bend at too high a speed will cause the
vehicle to want to continue in a straight line and collide with the
countryside. What similar forces or action will cause a car travelling
slowly to crash?
