You keep talking about death involving non-speeding cars. That's the remaining 28000 deaths which don't involve speeding, and which imposed speed governors would not help.
You don't think eliminating speeding might save some of those 12000 lives? And that some of those 12000 lives will be pedestrians and bicycles?
It wouldn't save many, if any, bicyclist or pedestrian lives. Even if you choose to include under "deaths involving speeding ," all the fatal collisions that also involved DUI and reckless driving your highway speed governors would have little if any effect on bicyclists or pedestrian fatalities.
Note: this is a bicycling safety list, not an automobile driver or passenger safety list.
