Is hitting a person at 20 mph speed serious?
1 Answers
Hitting a person at 20 mph speed is serious, ranging from fractures to severe injuries. It is recommended to drive safely and yield to pedestrians. Relevant information about speed is as follows: The meaning of speed in 'miles per hour' (mph, short for miles-per-hour, commonly referred to as 'mph'). It is a unit of speed measurement, indicating miles per hour. It is typically used in the UK, former British colonies (such as the US), and Commonwealth countries for calculating speed limits on roads, tennis serve speeds, etc., and is also used to calculate the central wind speed of tropical cyclones. Conversion: 1 mph equals 1.609344 kilometers per hour. The term 'mph' is often misused. In fact, 100 mph is equivalent to over 160 kilometers per hour, not the commonly assumed 100 kilometers per hour.
