Any speed can kill im afraid.

Ive been to incidents where people have crashed at 30 and they have received the same injuries as someone who has crashed at 70 believe it or not.


It's all about impact speeds not the speed of the car.

When I went on my speeding course they explained that there are no where near as many fatal crashes on motorways because all the cars are travelling at round about 70-80 mph so the impact speeds are low.

On rural roads, you get dicks doing 70-80 mph and poor Mrs Smith coming home from work doing 40-50 gets smacked into.


its simple laws of momentum really isn't it. two cars traveling at similar speeds in the same direction isn't going to have a big impact

0mph which means the impact speed is 70. That's less than 2 cars hitting on a rural road at 36mph.
