That car accidents represent only 50% of those killed
That speed only intervenes for 26%
The other being "innocent" and yet counted by the stats of death or wounded so undercame guilty
That 50% are without thirds: pedestrians and other vehicles.
What about third parties?
Good 625 killed on motorcycle + 1663 in auto + 143 in light trucks + 56 trucks and public transport = 2487
25% that rolls too fast gives 621 admitting that all types of vehicles are involved in this stat of excessive speed
How many CONDUCTORS driving these accidents too fast involved?
That we do not know.
Because if a driver rolls too fast his passengers killed in the accident they did not drive too fast
Good to ladle I take a little to know the passengers of the reckless passing from 621 to 550
Here we must add the speed-induced collisions that also kill perfectly innocent people from the slightest excess speed.
It is said that 1 on 4 is hit in a frontal collision remain = 413
If you weight the various rights of way: alcohol, cannabis 23 and 28%
And I do not count the killed with the animals nor speeds said excessive but below the legal limit and victim of the circumstances: rain, snow, ice, mud, vintage, pebbles, oil, object on the road ... etc
It remains, it seems to me even if I am quite zero in math, quite a few DRIVERS in speeding with full knowledge and lucidity.
So a national speed limit for 2 to 300 dangerous drivers?
I'm gorging myself?
