That's a rather distasteful argument to make and reminds me of Covid deniers blaming underlying medical conditions for deaths. Kinetic energy is m*v^2, so yes

Kinetic energy is m*v^2, so yes 20% makes quite a difference.
Also, what's the point of a speed limit of x if 1.2x (or x+19) is tolerated. There is no good reason for a margin.
