A common misconception is that only high speed kills. In fact, even a slight increase in speed at LOW speeds can be fatal. The increase in speed from 30 to 40mph is associated with a dramatic increase in injury and death amongst pedestrians. Exceeding the speed limit is just as dangerous at low speeds as at high speeds."

"Sadly I have to deal with a large number of road traffic fatalities. Excessive speed for the circumstances is frequently a significant cause. Properly placed safety cameras can reduce speed and prevent fatalities in dangerous locations".
