I found this article. it represents the real facts about speed & the real number of speed related accidents. It also shows the scare stories that have been put about by the powers that be.
It is quite long, but worth it.

The conclusion of the report is that:
In September 2006, the DfT finally conceded one of the central points that Safe Speed's Paul Smith had been arguing for five years: that only five per cent of road accidents were caused by drivers who were breaking the speed limit. In The Daily Telegraph, Smith was quoted as saying "the government's case for continuing to install cameras has been destroyed".
