speed limits aren't to necessarily prevent the actual driver from driving straight into a wall or another car and not stopping in time from his own faults... accidents happen because of just that, they are accidents... if the a person is going 100k and another going 130k, if a random bird flies into the windshield of both cars, and both drivers get freaked out and swerve or jam on the breaks, the chances of the car which was going faster has a higher chance of creating a more serious accident.
WIth that said, if there were a drunk driver on a road and he caused an accident by running into cars, there would be less total damage and seriousness of injuries to everyone if cars were generally going slower. so you can be the most competent driver in the world, but it is about lessening the extent of injuries from an accident that probably isn't even your fault.
