Base rate matters though; for example if literally everyone is speeding because speed limits are too low then every accident will involve someone speeding.

Just because everyone else is speeding does not automatically mean that faster speed is safe. It could also just be that people are assholes and they do what they want.
- shadowgovt 2y agoIIUC it's mostly that speed limits are set a little conservative relative to average road conditions. The tongue-in-cheek way it was explained to me once was "the highway isn't 70 because you need that. It's 70 because the trucker driving sleep-deprived in a light rain who doesn't know his left tire is about to blow needs that."
