The point you raise is at the heart of the cash for speed story. As you have demonstrated, the argument has descended to "will a person die if their hit at 30". A genuine, responsible road safety campaign cares about ALL injuries, whether or not we have a corpse. Broken bones, fractured skulls, brain damage and the rest are all vile and unacceptable. You cannot measure safety in MPH. The bizzare consequence of the 30mph message in the ads that the camera partnerships have spent millions on, is that they mbuttage the public into believing that if they drive at 30 - they're safe.
Squashed, crushed and injured children do not enjoy the experience or the problems through life that are generated by such tragedy. Road Safety is far too important a subject to be left to a government, who have already aptly demonstrated their lack of concern for human life in their needless hostility in other regions of the world.
They have opted for a statistical cash generating solution which is PR driven yet fails to take account of the long term change in driver behaviour. However even their statistics do not stand up to scrutiny.
