Ok, I've given it some thought (you know that thing that happens when
your two brain cells collide) and I stand by the statement that
inappropriate speed kills, not just speed, but I will add the caveat
that this is true for when the driver causes the accident.

Where the driver has not, by their own actions, caused the accident,
for example where a child chases a ball into the street, it is the
car's speed and driver skill, or lack of, that determines the outcome.
The speed of the vehicle dictates how much reaction time there could be
AND the severity of any impact. So doing 30mph in a 20mph greatly
reduces reaction time and increases the chances of a collision and
death. If a driver is obeying the 20mph speed limit there may be enough
time to avoid any sort of collision at all. So I guess I half agree
with you that speed kills, sheesh!

You're still an arse unable to fathom both points of view. From the
point of view of a parent and child at school, the cars should pass
slowly incase a child runs into the road and from the point of view of
some drivers,this is a road where people follow the highway code and
why can't you keep your child off it and stay safe in the school.

Laters,
