"The RTA says speed is a contributing factor in 42 per cent of road fatalities. Within those speed-related deaths, however, 31 per cent involved a drunk driver, 20 per cent involved a person who failed to wear a seatbelt (or a motorcycle helmet) and 12 per cent involved an unlicensed driver. People who make bad decisions in relation to risk often die on the road." (source: smh)

so speed alone is a factor in about 15% of total road fatalities. Makes the figure a lot less impressive, doesn't it?


I have also read in a car magazine (motor i think) that on the form that police fill in at the scene of an accident that if the cause of the accident cant be found there is no option to list the cause as "undetermined" so they just put down speeding.

Also all accidents are speed related as you cant have an accident if something isnt moving.
