That's setting a bit of a precedent, speed in itself is not dangerous, what it does do is exacerbate the deleterious effects of any accident.
Does this mean bike riders will now be able to sue main roads departments for 'conduct endangering life' when they erect wire barriers alongside roads? It is a known fact that they are lethal to motorcyclists in the event of an accident.
