Please read answer carefully: Under the surface most Crashes have an element of excess speed involved, but depending where you live speeding is sited as low as 15% and as high as 70% as a cause of Crashes. Speeding is usually a part of agressive and dangerous driving, and that causes 80% of accidents. If you can get an agressive driver to slow down he or she will have much more time to deal with trouble on the road, thus be a safer driver. And that is why Police enforce speed limits.
