How about fatalities...?

[mewzilla]

The critical pre-crash event refers to the action or the event that puts a vehicle on the course that makes the collision unavoidable, given reasonable driving skills and vehicle handling of the driver.

Wow, there are a lot of assumptions being made there.

It’s the sudden stops! b’doom boom

[BenLurkin]

Most traffic collisions DO involve speed which is too fast for the conditions — and that speed can easily be less than the posted speed limit.

Inattention, failure to stay in your lane, failure to yield, etc may all be the Primary Collision Factor, but excessive speed is almost always involved.

Less than 14%.

(Clarifying - ‘Speed too fast’ accounted for 13.7% of all fatal crashes.)

[absolootezer0]

13.7% for “speed too fast” and that’s less than for alcohol related (which is another bogus statistic)

“speed too fast” doesn’t seem to make a distinction between exceding the speed limit and merely driving too fast for conditions.

What's your point? you can go through a windshield if you hit a brick wall while travelling 25mph if you are not wearing a seat belt.

It's speed DIFFERENTIAL that causes more accidents than speed itself, ie a mix of fast and slow traffic,or the sudden slowing of the traffic flow, that is more dangerous than cars all driving at high speed.

OOoops! sorry, re transmit...:-)
