Speed limits and then cameras are primarily there to manage trap
those who can't make decisions on their own (and in that process also
trap those spending more time actually driving attentively and not
staring at their speedo or circles on sticks). I'm not saying most of
us can't do both of course but speed and safe driving can be two
different things.

I would say that if you can't control your vehicles speed correctly then you
are not driving safely.
The excuse used by poor drivers that they spend all their time looking for
hazards and can't see the speed limit signs or the speedo is just plain
cr@p.
If you can't keep an eye on your speed and know what the signs say then you
are already driving too fast for your abilities.


ie, They have speed limits in the pits on race tracks but not on the
track yet not everyone dies?

Put them all in normal cars without safety cages, harnesses, crash helmets,
etc. and a lot more would die, they have far more accidents than most
drivers but survive them through engineering.
