You're right to be worried about it. But someone else voiced the same concerns 7 years ago to the day:

http://www.safespeed.org.uk/pr136.html

What a shame that you, Chapman and all the other car-haters dismissed it out of hand, along with all other press releases from the same source. I'd say you've worsened safety by doing so, wouldn't you?

Lesson learned? Are you now going to stop putting spiteful anti-car ideology above safety? No, of course you're not. Shame on you.
