There are almost 20,000 casualties on our roads every year, where excessive speed was a contributing factor. Around 400 of them are fatal. Without minimising the hurt online abuse causes to those who suffer it, it is nevertheless fair to say that online trolling is a minuscule problem compared to road safety and policing resources should obviously be deployed accordingly.
