Please refresh my memory as to how many car passengers have been killed on the M1 in the second half of the last century. It's easy to remember how many rail passengers were killed on the parallel Midland Railway/LMS/BR/Midlandmainline track during the WHOLE of the last century - ZERO.
George, it's also easy to remember how many
PEOPLEwere killed on the railroads as on the real roads per passenger mile:
The same number.
Despite the rail roads being fenced off.
Feel free to work out for yourself the comparison with motorways, which are far safer than your average road (but not fenced off in the same way as the rail roads).
Or how many car passengers would be killed if cars were built like 100 ton battering rams.
PS Can anyone shed any light on why moderators only stick their oar in when I defend motorists in general and myself in particular from anti-motorist attacks?
