Certainly there are rules things that could imposed to reduce the

AFAIAA most road casualities occur in 30mph or lower limits.


You misunderstand - I didn't mean 30mph speed limit signs, I meant cars
being physically limited to 30mph!

I trust you were joking.


Yes :-) It was meant to illustrate the extreme lengths you would need to go
to in order to save all those lives lost on the roads, showing that in some
areas at least, we do not attempt to save lives "at any cost". In this
context, the 10 lives out of 60 million lost due to home electrocutions each
year would not warrent extra regulation such as Part P.
