If you're looking to prove who has a better "culture of safety", shouldn't you be looking at accident statistics, not some random basic kinematics without context? There are places that drive slower but have more accidents.
- arcticfox 8y agoI suppose, although these "random basic kinematics" are actually "highly relevant first principles of safety" in automobiles (stopping distance). If you prefer starting from accident statistics, here are a variety of studies across a variety of locations that generally show a ~2% increase in accidents per 1 km/h of speed.
