Correct answer
Yes, because a collision with a pedestrian at that speed may be fatal.
Driving in town at more than 50 kilometres per hour involves a significant danger, especially regarding collisions with pedestrians. At this speed, the severity of injuries in the event of a collision increases dramatically, and there is a greater probability that they will be fatal. Higher speed reduces the driver’s reaction time to unexpected events, such as pedestrians suddenly appearing, and increases the braking distance needed to stop the vehicle.
