Road to Zero road safety campaign

[Olive]

I agree that it is not realistic to expect 100% perfect driver behaviour, however it has been shown time and time again that the faster a vehicle travels the more damage is caused in a collision.

One of the examples was in Germany with the autobahns that had no speed limit, very high quality vehicles and a conscientious and well trained driving population. In international comparisons the number of crashes was fairly low, but the number resulting in fatalities and serious injuries was high because of the speed factor.

I'm in favour of reductions in speed limits.
