I think better driver education is the key to improved road safety, not speed limit enforcement. That's the German model.

Your forgetting simple physics:
F=ma The
force of impact increases as
mass &
ACCELERATION increase. Granted that mass has probably been decreased significantly on ave. but people still see speed as the key factor. Safer cars exist today sure but that's also assuming you hold the other variables constant, but your still increasing the force upon impact as you increase speed.
I agree, improved driver education is the real key.
