Changing the clocks on breakfast news

As happens every year they had a little piece about how not changing the
clocks would save millions of lives [1] and they had a woman from Brake ,
the road safety people.
When it was suggested that if children wore reflective clothing this would
help , she just started trotting out the usual line about "hit a child at
20mph and 90% will survive" , but then went on to say "hit them any faster
and 90% will die"!

Really?

21mph can make *that* much difference?

I find it difficult to take them seriously when they can't even get their
own statistics right.




[1] Possibly an exaggeration
