Why is a car traveling at 40mph much more likely to kill a pedestrian as a car traveling at 30mph?

A car travelling at 40mph will have a lot more momentum than one travelling at 30mph, so there would be more force for it to hit the pedestrian with; it will also take much longer to come to a halt.

Speed limits and changes in Britains speed limit?
too many crashes . When I was young, there was only the 30mph limit in towns, and a few 40mph limits on urban through ways. Apart from that, no limit on the open road. Now we have 70mph on motorways and dual carriageways, 60mph on all other roads unless lower limit posted. Lower limits are a sometimes confusing mix of 50mph, 40mph, 30mph, 20mph and 10mph
