I'm not surprised that the findings on speed show it generally irrevalent.  
The question is that if speed doesn't cause accidents, what does?

Actually, an API study on Pay at the Pump Insurance, found that accidents 
are caused by traffic density, followed by (I think) driver attitude, 
with speed a factor albeit a minor one.

Any more thoughts?
