But don't forget that more people are killed on the hard shoulder than on the road !!! Motorways are inherently dangerous.
Au contraire. Motorways are the safest roads on which to travel. Rural roads carry 40% of the traffic but are the locus of 62% of deaths. Motorways carry 20% of traffic but are the locus of only 6% of fatalities.
https://assets.publishing.service.g...ile/448037/road-fatalities-2013-data.pdfStatistics can be made to prove anything, Now check how many miles of rural roads there are compared to miles of motorways. Don't forget that I patrol motorways on a daily basis and I know where I feel safer.
