Could you please explain how doing 71mph along a straight empty dual carrigeway equals death/injury/accident but 70mph along the same stretch of road doesn't?

On motorways with the flow of traffic.
It's a fact that the safest form of traffic is that which has a relative speed of zero.
Overtaking when safe on a single carrigeway when there's some dolt who doesn't know what a white disc with a black diaginal line means and insists on doing 40mph (and normally speeds up to 45mph when they hit a 40zone! Or you get someone who sticks at 50mph no matter what the speed limit is, so they're not going slow for safety's sake!)
I'd rather get past them as quickly as possible, even if that means going over 60mph for a few seconds
