It also pointed to research that 45% of pedestrians die when struck by a car at 50kph but only five per cent if hit at 30kph.

..and at 0kph no-one gets killed.  There's your answer.


Good-grief Chris - it was staring us in the face all the time - how did we miss it :o :o ;D ;D

does anybody on planet earth know the green cross code anymore ?
when do you draw the line between blameing the driver or turning round to the pedestrian and say ............... YOU didn't look and YOU walked out into the road when a big 2 ton piece of metal was coming !!
pavements are for people
roads are for cars ect

ps   i have kids and if i see them playing on the road, they get a bollocking or a slap

Interesting one that.  You could say a hobby-horse of mine.  When approached to clear obstructing cars our local plod decided it might annoy the other residents and dismissed it. >:(

In fact plod themselves drive and park on pavements without any bylaws permitting it. >:( >:(
