If all midair collisions were eliminated...
"Tom De Moor" wrote in message .be... In article , betwys1 @sbcglobal.net says... If the US road speed limit were reduced from 70 to 65 mph, perhaps 30,000 lives would be saved annually. Isn't that worthwhile? We have apparently decided NOT. Keywords in your sentences are 'perhaps' and 'apparently'. You might even claim all roadkills would be saved if US road speed were to reduced to zero. In Germany the speed on the autobahn is unlimited, in neighbouring Belgium the max speed is 120 kph. However in Germany there are less than half as many killed per 1000 km of highway than in Belgium. Speed does not kill, failing or absent infrastructure does. Infrastructure? Maybe 5% tops. Try Inattention and intoxication first. Matt
