That 99% of accidents are caused by stupid drivers or bad luck, not
failure to keep exactly to arbitrary speed limits?


No, 99% of accidents are caused because the driver was going too fast.
Luck is not required.


Cite please...


Cite a car accident where it would have happened if the car wasn't going
slower.
More than 1%?

Driving a car requires the driver to weigh up the risks of driving at a
particular speed to keep the chances of an accident low.
Some drivers are good at this and never have accidents.
Some are useless and have accidents.
Some don't consider the safety of anyone else at all, must be the shocks
they get from being an electrician.
