"How do you know?"

errr, look at the number of tickets given and then the number that were given just prior to an accident of any sort.

"I haven't you said you are. You have yet to provide one reason not to have speed limits"

yes i have

" nor a reason why excess speed should not be discouraged,"

why would i?

" nor why it cannot be the sole determining factor in an accident."

well you need some vehicles for a start, then a road......

"In fact, nobody here has said people die soley through speed."

i think you will find there has.

" People die in road accidents for all sorts of reasons. We have however said that speed:

a) Increases the consequences of an accident"

possibly

"b) Increases the chances of an accident occuring"

possibly but reducing speed can do the same

"c) Can be the sole determining factor in an accident (i.e. the only thing someone could have done differently is to have reduced their speed)"

nope. manufacturers could save a lot of money if that were true.

"And how would that prevent accidents? As you yourself have stated, it would only be used after an accident. A little bit late then don't you think? Granted, it would have some benefits in improving vehicle safety and potentially, over a long period of time, driver training (but only by showing the types of accidents that occur and how they could be avoided)."

hum, dont you think it would be like having your driving examiner next to you all the time?

"Your argument basically boils down to, "I'd prefer not to have speed limits but accept they currently need to exist, Ian (and others) shouldn't say excess speed kills or try to discourage excess speeding, we should have better drivers and we should only concentrate on dangerous driving."

pretty much

"Remember, excess speed is one factor of dangerous driving that has been singled out because:

a) It is easy to police"

nope. the speed used is not a reflection of what is safe for the vehicle/road condition

"b) It plays a large part in reducing the chances of an accident"

or cause them in some instances

"c) It plays a large part in reducing the consequences of an accident."

usually

"Why is this a bad thing? "

look back through my posts

it catches the 'innocent'

it gives people a false sense of security

it stiffles better road safety
