"Taking a closer look at Germany, federal and state statistics reported by Der Spiegel show that there 0.95 fatal accidents per billion kilometres driven on German autobahn sections with speed limits. When it comes the parts without a speed limit, however, there are 1.67 fatal accidents - 75 percent more than on stretches with a speed limit." https://www.statista.com/chart/25098/fatality-rate-and-speed-limit-on-european-motorways/ https://www.statista.com/chart/25098/fatality-rate-and-speed... https://www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/tempolimit-koennte-jaehrlich-bis-zu-140-todesfaelle-verhindern-a-1254504.html https://www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/tempolimit-koennte-jaehr... ( In German, should be the original source) Would be interesting to know about accidents in general. It's quite obvious that higher speeds increase the likelihood of fatal accidents.
