What it’ll change about my driving is to make sure I spend more time looking out for cameras than I do the road in front
Why not learn to drive the speed limit? Serious question.
Molgrips – how can speed be a metric of the consequences of an accident
Kinetic energy is related to speed. Hit a wall at 10mph, scratched bumper. Hit one at 70mph – death.
It’s also a metric of how fast you can stop. Kid runs out infront of you when you’re doing 30mph, you can stop. Same thing at 50mph – death.
Driving skill is a separate issue. Bad drivers are bad, good drivers are good but still make mistakes. If we keep our speed down as a matter of habit (or law) then we’ll all have more time to correct mistakes and avoid stuff happening.
Surprised I have to explain this tbh.
