All the DFT are saying is that in 13% of cases someone was speeding. That does NOT imply (nor do they imply) that speeding was the CAUSE of the accident. Indeed they have a separate category of "excess speed" - whether above OR below the limit. You clearly do not understand the concept of a causal link. If 13% or drivers were in red cars you wouldn't say having a red car was the cause of the accident - indeed if 20% of the cars were red you would say that being in a red car was safer! Conversely if only 10% of the cars were red you might reasonably think there was a causal link. And if 13% or more of the population are speeding at any one time (quite possible) you would (if you were rational) say that there was NO direct link between the two.

But if we accept that the DFT figures are right, why are you and itpro spending 100% of their effort on speeding rather than other issues?

Now for a bombshell which blows your simplistic views of my motives out of the water - I've just suggested "speed humps" as a way forward in our village. Not because we have a REAL issue of speed, but we have a REAL issue of SAFETY with a dangerously placed pinch point. It's a way of placating those who ARE fixated by speed, but which will solve a real SAFETY problem.

That is the real problem with your and itpro's approach - it is so simplistic as to be dangerous.
