At 50 km/h, you travel about 14 meters before even touching the brake. At 100 km/h, that distance doubles to 28 meters.
Pedestrians have a 90% chance of surviving an impact at 30 km/h, but less than a 50% chance at 45 km/h.
Beyond the statistics found in reports like those from the World Health Organization , "Viteza Ucide" represents the lives cut short:
On a dry road, stopping from 100 km/h requires nearly 100 meters—roughly the length of a football field. The Human Cost
