Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, the higher the speed at which you are traveling, the more severe the possible injuries in the event of an accident.
Yes. The faster you go, the more energy the impact has and the more serious the injuries are. This applies to vehicle occupants as well as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, not just when pedestrians are hit.
