What? I have no idea (I assume because pedestrians are banned from motorways) but people CANNOT argue with the physics ... the faster a vehicle goes the more damage it will do on impact, the faster a vehicle goes the less time a driver has to react ... this is just basic science. Slower travelling vehicles are safer so there is a balance between between efficiency (time taken I guess) and other road-user safety ... IOW Meatball was wrong to imply that speed limits didn't save lives.
