Speed saves lives

Have you seen the Ad with the young girl doing the voice over....

 

"If you hit me @ 40mph theres an 80% chance I'll die, if you hit me @ 30mph theres an 80% chance I'll live"

 

So what happens if you hit them @ 35mph - theres 0% of them dying or living...does that mean they'll just get up off the floor and be on their merry way?

For the sake of clarity, Im not a muppet and the above question isnt serious. I only support speeding if its on a track :)

that advert is load of exageration anyway. If the person was in a modern car with ABS they wouldnt of even hit the girl.

 

The highway code needs to be rewritten to match the average veichles nowadays and not the ones from early 80's.

 

Just to say im not saying the point is bad...just generally the technical info nowadays dished out

I think its assuming she steps out and gets hit at the speeds stated, as if the driver didnt see her....other than that, I agree with you fellow club member
