That is interesting. Good stat. I might be inclined to believe that many of those are one car accidents (Darwin if driving drunk) or that they were driving 50+. Theoretically, the 35 MPH roads would be <20 MPH roads. That whole revoke the license for twice the limit might change some minds. Maybe.
FTR, Im not proposing anything.
