Yes there there is an irefutable clear link between speed and the consequences of an accident, to do with the laws of physics.
The link between speed and accidents is based on the far more shakey theories on probability, not proven in any research I have seen and certainly not as proven as the laws of physics.
Sure it a not a very nice job to have to do but as long as the human race continue to use motorised coveyenaces there will be accidents.
More and more society is governed by laws based on the lowest common denominator, backside covering and the desire to move risk assessment from being a personal decision to one made by politicians or others in a postion to do so.
Curbside kangaroo courts are the result and the powers that be are well hacked cos they have been outplayed at their own game.
Speeding is a victimless "crime" unless there is an accident.

First of all, they are not accidents, thats just a term that has come to be associated with what is a collision.
A collision is just that, and therefor there is someone or more at fault!! The reason i believe we have to be controlled by the lowest denominator is because the potential of your act tends to take out others as well as your self!
