The Physics of Stopping
In some ways the statement "safety is not related to how fast you travel, but how quickly you stop" is true, but in another it is untrue in regard to the physics of stopping. If safety is related to how quickly you stop, then it is also related to how fast you travel, because how quickly you stop is directly related to how fast you are travelling.

One thing that I think can be very well demonstrated by this information is the use of speed limits and how they do save lives and how they do matter. Less momentum means less risk, less risk means safer streets.
