Re: 80mph speed limit 'would increase deaths by 20%'
Personally I feel there needs to be better studies widespread generalisation like these models inacurate due to most death down to factors not black & white. More down to history of road, location tyoe traffic volume. Type accident ie cause and vehicles involved. Some parts of country motorway network could be safe to do so.
I would like to see programme to bring about reducing cars with less encap safety marks. All models tested marked with programme to reduce the weak off the road.
I drive car which is very poor encap showed may as well not drive with seatbelt got more chance survival if thrown from the vehicle. It literally folds in half servere head chest leg injuries which would likely result in death according to the tests. I would feel totally unsafe outside town.
Surely a car with 5 encap would cope with 80m but then that depends who hits you. It also depends on conditions whether 80m is safe.
I always felt road speed should be electronic adjust accordingly not just on motorways but all roads. That would reduce acidents more takes the guessing what safe but then it needs better weather localised forcasting.
I hate those studies all fits one shoe type affairs they too generalised dont go deep enough.
