Between 2004 and 2008:
Alberta Speed Report
12.9% of all collisions involved drivers travelling at an "unsafe speed".
Improper actions of drivers travelling at unsafe speed
27.9% were following too closely
Alcohol was involved in over half of all fatal collisions where speed was a factor.
Alcohol was involved in over 20% of injury collisions where speed was a factor
Conclusion: Deal with the tailgating, deal with the drinking and you'll prevent a significant number of speed related collisions. Why nobody seems interested in doing that makes no sense to me.
