I respectively disagree with your line of thinking.
You have to use logic to debate it, and you can't You simply disagree because of ignorance.
If speed cause crashes, logically, everyone EVERYWHERE that drove fast would crash. Since they don't, it can't be what causes crashes. PERIOD. Use logic to defend YOUR position.
It's not the cause, never has been, never will be. And no, little Suzy, it's not poor driving. Try to tell that to Germans on the autobahn or race car drivers that they are poor drivers. They'll laugh in your face.
I wish you could get the license plate of the tailgater and charge him with attempted murder because anyone that tailgates is threatening the life of anyone in the car he is tailgating. Back off!

Me thinks Paul Walker and Roger Rodas would disagree with you.

Are you ready to hear how your logic is flawed Merc63?
Ready or not here it is: I propose that reaction-time shortage causes most accidents. If everyone had fast enough reaction time to an in progress incident, they wouldn't turn into accidents right? With increased driving speed, there is less time available for someone to react (whether or not their reaction time is short or long). Therefore with that logic, driving at higher speeds does cause more accidents.

That has more to do with the proper distance between cars, then it dose with speed. If two cars are going 90 mph, but the car behind is 10 car lengths behind, they will have more time to stop, then two cars going 50 with 1 car length between them.

LOL - stop messing with my logic Me007! You're right of course...

If this were the case, why don't we see more accidents on the Autobahn?
Poor driving habits causes accidents, not higher speeds.
Tailgating
Failing to move from the overtaking lane for vehicles that are attempting to pass
Failure to signal properly
Failure to maintain a safe distance between vehicles
.... and the list goes on and on.
Personally, I stay out of the left lane if I am not overtaking other vehicles and leave it open for others to use. The speed limit is not my job to enforce nor anyone other than law enforcement. By trying to enforce the speed limit yourself, you contribute to an unsafe driving situation. It's been beat to death on here, but it's extremely simple.
Extend some driving courtesy and pay attention to your surroundings and follow general safety practices. Then if someone wants to pass at 100mph+ let them. It's none of your business, plus they get by you that much faster and the "danger" is no longer your concern since the "threat" has moved on.
Road rage are cause by inconsiderate, oblivious, careless,reckless drivers.
It's simple. If some one tail gate you, jus simply get out of the way. Why bother holding them up.
