Yes, but I might just to add to the question that the likelihood of a fatality at 50 km/h is about five out of ten people and when it goes to 60 km/h, it is about nine out of ten people. At 30 km/h, there is a 90% chance that there will not be a fatality, although there will be other injuries. I ask the question in that context. The prevalence of SUVs, crossovers and high-fronted vehicles also increases that risk. The question still stands. Would the companies support a 30 km/h speed limit in towns and villages and on residential roads? Do they recognise the increased risk from high-fronted vehicles in regard to fatalities?
