"Main cause" is kind of like "51% at fault".
The question isn't what is the "main" cause, the question is just "could the same accident have been avoided, or been made less severe, if one or both drivers were going slower?"
Anyway, now that we are all in agreement about 1) not going above the speed limit, and 2) being courteous to other drivers, I'd like to thank yall for a good internet debate, and wish everyone safe travels.
