Does Driving Faster Actually Save You Significant Time?
This infographic from World of Statistics illustrates the diminishing returns of increasing driving speed over a 10-kilometer distance. While doubling your speed from 10 km/h to 20 km/h saves 30 minutes of travel time, increasing your speed from 120 km/h to 130 km/h only saves 23 seconds. The data highlights how the time saved by driving faster decreases significantly as base speeds increase, suggesting that the risks associated with high-speed driving often outweigh the marginal time benefits gained during a typical commute.
No those 23 seconds might save you from being stuck behind some vagina faced driver which would cost you several more minutes, not to mention the other cars said vagina driver would allow to merge in front which would be even longer. Those 23seconds could turn into 10 minutes or
Should we slow clap at basic maths now?
Ok, hear ya but at the same time if some cunt is doing 57 in a 60 its just annoying me. I know its barely going to impact my travel time but something in me is angry they insist on driving under when speedos are already calibrated high anyway (do 60 and your satnav says actual 55
So in 23 secs you came... Got it
Doubling your speed saves more time? YOU DON't SAY!
What an idiot. The first one is wrong. 10km per hour means that you take an hour to travel the 10km, not 60min.
And if you walk at 4km/h it take you 2h30, if you walk 1km/h faster you save 30 min
Stay in your bed at 0 km/hr. Save 24 Hours.
If you double your speed, you halve the time, if you increase speed by <10% you decrease time by <10%. Great insight. That's why Germans drive to work at 180km/h.
600km/h - 1 min got it, i'll never be late again
