  • I googled it, and surprisingly few road deaths come on motorways.

    Although motorways carry around 19 per cent of traffic, they only accounted for 5 per cent of fatalities in 2020. The number of people killed on motorways in 2020 was 79.

    Total road deaths in the year were 1460.

    Apparently most fatalities come on country A roads and B roads. Hard to find information on what speed people are going on those cases.

    Not that surprising. Everyone is going in the same direction, there are no corners, traffic lights, no slowing or stopping

  • If the memories from my youth are anything to go by, very fast.

    I remember my driving instructor telling me that when you got onto the national speed limit country roads that you had to show the examiner that you were aware there was a higher speed limit, i.e. floor it.
