> Road safety statistics goes totally against your statement. There's a clear corelation between speed and accident There is not. There is a clear correlation between speed and deadly accidents. But most of the accidents happen in the cities and most of them happen at low speed. The most probable cause is disrespect of priority, due to distractions (watching the phone is very common nowadays) I posted some stats for the city of Rome, taken straight from the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) > I started driving when it was the same really bad mentality of people having to make place to the one who wants to go fa Those bad mentality people are experts in road safety. If you are one of them I'd like to know where you work. My fiancé worked here https://www.fia.com/road-safety https://www.fia.com/road-safety > So no, you can be the best driver of the world, 50 km/h in a city is already way too dangerous for pedestrian Nobody has ever said the contrary... > The unconfortable slow driver you hate ? Maybe not as dangerous as you are Maybe is a no until you prove it. Meanwhile I can show you that the categories that suffer more deaths per capita are really young and inexperienced people and older people with slow reaction times and impaired vision (the traffic light was red but they didn't see it). > You want to drive "fast"? Think about the safety of other people it involves. I never said that. I've said that if you can't handle to drive fast (fast as in slightly above the speed limits), you are dangerous even at low speed. If you can't swim in a swimming pool, will you be a better swimmer in the Ocean? As an example: my dad never liked driving, he never learned to be a good driver and as a result now that he is older his driving skill have lowered so much that he is a danger to himself. He could drive meh at 50kmh when he was 40, barely when he was 50, now that he is 75 at 30kmh everything looks too fast for his reflexes. He breaks in the middle of the straight because he sees shadows, wait too long at crosses but then he passes in the wrong moment because he gets frustrated that other cars behind him are forming a long line because of him. He never had to challenge his mediocre driving skills, because they were almost good enough and now he can't drive safely anymore. Driving is like a muscle, if you don't exercise it and stimulate it, it will atrophy. Cities like Rome, with the highest number of cars per capita in the West (73 cars every 100 people) need to either remove cars from the streets entirely or deploy large programs of safe driving because the population is getting older and their driving skills are not getting better. Forcing everyone to go by bike or at 10kmh is not a solution. At 20kmh a delay in reaction times of just one second means 6 meters. It is a lot! And I repeat it to be clear: I don't even drive anymore in Rome, I simply walk, because it's too frustrating as an experience.
