On a course i was once given the statistic that at 30mph 90% of pedestrians die, and at 20mph 90% live.
Now consider (from the same course) that breaking isn’t linear and most stopping happens at the end. So if you’re going 30 and would stop at point x during an emergency stop, then if you start an emergency stop at the same point while doing 40 you’ll reach point x doing 30.
Yeah. I don’t speed, especially in areas with pedestrians.
Looking at the video he does appear to be going that speed or less. Probably why she isn’t dead.
Which is exactly why we should have 30 km/h speed limits. The difference in survivability is massive at lower speeds.
