GroenLinks wants, not that we 130 drive on the highway

And this time it has nothing to deal with the environment, but with safety, said the party in the program EenVandaag.

GroenLinks does not like cars. That is a fact, since we don’t have long to talk about. So that a party like this, the increase of the speed limit wants to roll back is also not surprising, because bad for the environment, it creates more co2 emissions, dead kittens, flowers de, infants who have not more outside play and much too thick, the eskimo’s that our side is on flights, because their habitat is melting and the cows that luminous milk. We should not want to. That night began a bit bored, so that’s why they have once again adapted. It is a le-data-ge-vaar-lijk to 10 kilometres to drive faster than in the past. The figures prove it.

And at first glance it seems to be right…

The 130 kilometerwegen in 2015 much more fatal casualties than a year earlier. The number of fatalities on those roads tripled from 10 in 2014 to 32 last year. Party get this support from a professor at the TU Delft, Bert van Wee. According to him, the increase in speed is “arguably created even more victims.”

All lie numbers don’t, you can, of course, interpret as you would like. And that we now also do, if only for just a reply.

These numbers are in a wrong perspective. If you delve a little deeper into the matter emerges, you can read that by far the most road deaths fall on the 50 – and 80 kilometerwegen, respectively, 127 and 145. That are figures that a little each year are constant. The number of deaths on 130 kilometerwegen is the last years exceptionally low and now begins just to normalize. In addition, more and more 130 kilometerwegen, so the likelihood is much greater that you are on 1 of those roads killed. So better read the dangerous points in urban areas or just outside tackle in place of that ‘marginal’ 22 dead, of regret fell on the supersnelwegen. There, you save more lives with it than with a measure which they propose.

Of course every dead in traffic is there 1 too many, I mean really. But I would like a political party, which to say is to the general population to represent, but also to protect, is concerned with cases where something really to improve. Might be fine!
