If people were prosecuted not for speeding, but for HAVING ACCIDENTS. the
roads would be a far safer place.
Or *both*.


Not really. There is no direct correlation between vehicle speed (within

So are you saying if every vehicle was compelled to and drove at say
20mph there would not be fewer accidents?


Definitley.

As I said earlier, horse drawn transport shows that to be the case.
