Speed link to casualties probed

01 October 2010
 

The risk of pedestrian fatalities in road accidents increases rapidly beyond vehicle speeds of 30mph, according to research for the DfT. By applying statistical tests to road traffic accident data from 2000-2009, TRL estimated that the risk of pedestrian fatality was 1% at an impact speed of 20mph, 7% at 30mph and 31% at 40mph. Belted car drivers were found to be at much higher risk of being killed in a side-on impact crash rather than a frontal impact.
