If I’ve read it correctly, it appears to suggest that if speed limits are set too low, people pay less attention and crash more.

Thanks, I thought originally it was someone interested in a debate, albeit with a different point of view. I didn't realise it was the poster formally known as Ghe13rte.
Speeding is against the law, anyone is entitled to think that the law should be complied with and enforced. I only have an issue when they overstate the safety aspect and dismiss anything negative, as a way to justify it.
I doubt you can have a constructive debate with him/her. They do (imo) seem to have some kind of personality complex.

Anyway I agree with you that they overstate the safety aspect. I find myself concentrating better at higher speeds than at lower speeds and because of that I’m sure someone will now come along and tell me I shouldn’t be driving.

You shouldn’t be driving !!!

Nor should I in that case yet.
