    Literally: Speed DOES NOT KILL. β€” Physics101 β€” because velocity is relative.

    Impact with another object where the relative velocity differential is above a certain speed (Say 40kph?) might.

    You stop the carnage on the road by educating Drivers (relentlessly, and mandatorily so) not with Speed limits.

    Where speed limits is important, it is as indicators to the driver that higher speeds then posted through a signed section of a road are likely to cause damage or impact to/with other stationary/moving objects in said section. The assumption being that the road/section conforms to all other Australian standards which apply.

    The perverse fixation on speed limit as a panacea for limiting injury and death on our roads is pathetic at best. IMHO

  24. Can lower speed limits save lives on Europe’s roads?

    From Paris to Stuttgart, cities are hitting the brakes on speed in an effort to save lives.

    Could this be the key to reaching zero road deaths in the EU by 2050?

    If you needed more proof of the inefficiency of humans driving #cars, here's another example with #Lego bricks.

    The #TrafficJam is granted after a certain number of cars. Just one car more, and everything slows down.

    Human reaction times are bad.

    Humans being drunk or unstable are worse.

    Higher speed limits are the worst.

    So, to limit traffic jam, we need:
    - lower #SpeedLimits
    - no drunk humans
    - no unstable humans
    - less human drivers
    - less cars
