    Damn. I didn’t realize it was so drastic. 100% fatality rate seems crazy, even rounded

      Good thing we went from 60 to 50 km/h speed limit in the cities. We should go even lower!

    Local news:

    https://www.koin.com/local/clackamas-county/notorious-intersection-portland-driver-speeds-hits-car-before-crash-milwaukie-police-say/

    “The officer spotted a grey BMW going 87 MPH in a 40 MPH zone”

    For our European friends:

    87 MPH = 140 KPH
    40 MPH = 64.4 KPH

      Why Europe? Most of the world uses KM/H.

      Those tend to be more predictable than cars in terms of where they’ll be

        Roads. Cars and busses will be on roads.

        Tracks. Trains and light rail will be on tracks.

        I’d say both are pretty predictable.

          I have definitely heard of children being killed by a car while waiting for a bus in a bus shelter several metres away from the road

          I have read about cars smashing through walls of houses

          I have read about a car used to kill the children of the driver in a lake well away from the road

          Cars are not guaranteed to be on roads when they are killing people
