I'll never understand what drove the decision to make the limit for these 45km/h. The speed limit on town frequently is 50km/h which puts these things maximum speed just an infuriatingly small amount below that. I think everyone would be safer if the maximum for the vehicles was 55km/h since it would reduce inventive for risky overtaking. Even doing the opposite and reducing it to 40km/h would be safer since it would make it easier to overtake therm
- ornornor 6y agoIt might have to do with the fact that more speed causes exponentially more damage and lethality. I don’t know the exact figures but something like hitting a pedestrian at 40kmh they’d have 90% chance of survival and that goes down to 25% at 50kmh (I don’t know the exact numbers but that’s the idea) Maybe 45kmh was the best trade off between lethality and speed?
