That 99% of accidents are caused by stupid drivers or bad luck, not failure to keep exactly to arbitrary speed

No, 99% of accidents are caused because the driver was going too fast. Luck is not required.


Cite please...


Cite a car accident where it would have happened if the car wasn't
going slower. More than 1%?


You can run the same silly line about the car being stopped completely.

Driving a car requires the driver to weigh up the risks of driving at a particular speed to keep the chances of an
accident low.


Even safer to stay home.

Some drivers are good at this and never have accidents.
Some are useless and have accidents.
Some don't consider the safety of anyone else at all, must be the
shocks they get from being an electrician.
