It was a tragic and horrible incident, but how will reducing the speed limit stop two cars from colliding head on?

Exactly.

IMO more people will overtake as 50mph on a road so wide and straight as the A614 will feel like walking speed.

If you want people to stop overtaking put in some central reservations in dangerous places and physically stop it. It isn't rocket science.
