Double the speed you hit 4 x harder, speed up from 40 to 60 = 60/40 = 1.5, , so 1.5 * 1.5 = 2.25, or 225% more force.
Impressive.
Let's make top speed limits 20 then.
Another 250% slower.
You've convinced me its a great idea.
Actually let's make it 10ks instead just for good measure. Will take 4 hours to communicate 40 k's but its all worth it to reduce the road toll to 0.
