Speed in itself doesn't kill.
A motorist's inattention and lack of awareness, coupled with the speed of the vehicle compounds any mistake made. And in a lot of incidents, it is the resultant collision, the speed of it, and the forces meted out on casualties that determine fatalities. I am always shocked to hear of deaths in 30mph limits, because of the (supposed) relatively slow speeds involved.
If you can't bring your vehicle to a stop safely in the distance you can see to be clear in front of you, then you are driving too fast.
