I 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.
