HDi fun; But you or I coming down from 30-29mph or 28-27mph said:Maybe not, but 1mph is 1.5ft/sec which could mean the difference between hitting that child and just stopping in time
True, but an attentive driver at 35mph is far safer than an inattentive driver at 25mph.
More surprisingly this:
If you drive at 35mph and apply full brake force you will still be doing 22mph at the point where the car would have been stationary had you bee doing 30mph initially.
It does make quite a significant difference.
Really what we're all saying is that you need to use the correct speed for the situation and remain alert as well. Slowing down is not a substitute paying attention or vice versa.
