It's important to consider whether increased speed does in fact cause accidents. Let's use data to determine an acceptable speed rather than arbitrarily decree "speed kills".
- viraptor 11y agoAre you implying that there is a scenario where higher speeds could result in fewer accidents? How could that work at current driving speeds? All the data we have right now about people driving shows that speed indeed kills. You have to consider both automated truck crashing into and being crashed by somebody - and that's usually going to be a human driver.
- JupiterMoon 11y agoFrom my observations a major source of traffic clustering on 2 lane UK A and M roads is lorries overtaking each other. This seems to happen because some lorries drive at 50 mph and others at 60 mph. If all lorries were to drive at precisely the same speed they would rarely have cause to leave the slow lane and clustering of cars would be reduced.
