Nobody ever caused an accident by speeding on its own.

They do and that is essentially the crux of this thread.
It has been pointed out that the stopping distance in the situation being
considered is close to the limit being that the junction is immediately
after a bend.
Therefore, if someone speeds (in this case exceeds 60mph), they leave
themselves with insufficient time/stopping distance before impact with a car
legitimately pulling out from village access road.
