How Wireless EV Charging Works

[JohnW2]

Agreed. I believe on speed awareness courses they tell you a lower speed is safer than a higher one, KE proprtionbal to V^2 and all that, but that logic applies all the way down to zero speed, and as you say, in real life there has to be a compromise.

Quite so. There's obviously an analogous way in which one could eliminate all deaths and injuries due to electric shock
... or those due to the use of ladders ... or power tools ... or kitchen knives or .....

Do you know where that 'evidence' can be found, and exactly what it relates to?

I take it you didn't bother to read the document I linked to.

One certainly has to take the behaviour of insurers very seriously, for the reasons you mention. However, I'm pretty surprised since, even if one lives in/near a 20 mph area, I doubt that driving on 20 mph roads constitutes much of a proportion of the driving they do.

You seem to be surprised by much of the evidence relating to 20mph speed limits.

It would be interesting to know the nature of the claims upon which one assumes the behaviour of insurers is based.

You can read as well as I that insurers are seeing reduced numbers of claims and reduced values of the ones they do see.

Ooops! I should have (given it's appearance), but didn't, twig that the text you quoted was actually a link Watch this space!

I am (surprised), at least in terms of the area in which I live. As I wrote, more than once, the 20 mph limits around me have nearly all appeared in places where there were so few significant/serious 'collisions' with 30 mph limits that there really was minimal scope for any change to reduce the number appreciably. Maybe it's different in other parts of the country?

If one is talking about a small village where there have been few, if any,'road traffic collisions' in decades, changing the speed limit sounds rather like a solution to a non-existent problem

You can read as well as I that insurers are seeing reduced numbers of claims and reduced values of the ones they do see.

That one I did realise was a link but I haven't yet had time to look at it (but intend to). When I wrote "It would be interesting to know the nature of the claims..." I should have written "It will be interesting to discover the nature of the claims ..." (assuming, that is,that the linked report tells me!) - so, again, "watch this space"!
