Some food for thought...
UK Road Stats for 2009
2,222 dead
24,690 seriously injured
195, 234 slightly injured
Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of small accidents that keep our insurance high...
People berate the police and say "they should be out catching real criminals..." - real criminals don't kill and injure as many people as the above...
And how many of those are caused by speeding? Not all of them thats for sure.
Some will be caused by people texting, applying lipstick, poorly maintained vehicles, poor situational awareness, weather.......you get what I mean.
Statistics can be used to prove anything you want. You just have to pose the question in a way that suits.
Please dont just throw numbers at us.
