I've heard of studies that say concentration is better in people driving faster as well. As it is listening to the radio (that stopped them being taxed in the UK). Certainly true for me - I fight falling asleep when going inappropriately slow, as it's like being rocked to sleep.
Also, countires like Italy were cutting down on speeding cameras and RAISING speed limits to REDUCE accidents. Government stats in all countries are the best evidence for all of this stuff. People just want them to admit it's for revenue not safety - the lack of honesty and laughable Police lectures just get irritating.
Generally, cause of accidents in all countries according to their Government's stats are;
1. disobeying road rules (U-turns, not staying left on motorways etc...)
2. tail gating
3. THEN SPEED, although some countires have it as low as 4th or 5th
This is from memory, but as has been previously said '...it's the Hayabusa site so may as well quote it as fact' without looking it up again. :)
