My argument on reducing speed limits is purely that if speed is such a hazrd, then more could be done to reduce that hazard. I personally don't think it is such a hazard, but you obviously do?
I like the wording of "in theory at least"... sadly that's the biggest problem here... we all know, or are fairly certain, that it isn't the case. If it were, perhaps we wouldn't feel so miffed about it.
