Speed is the main causal factor in only about 3 to 5% of all accidents.
The effective speed limits in Belgium are lower than in the Netherlands, Germany, France or the UK (though they allow about 6 mph less on motorways).
Yet our road death toll is about double of what these countries have.
Germany has its unlimited autobahn - though that's getting more and more limited these days - and allows 100kph outside villages.
Yet it's still amongst the safest countries in the world ...
There's simply no relation between the allowed speeds, and the road death toll.
