No your wrong mate, speed on its own isn't dangerous, its inappropriate speed that is a problem.
Apparently the average speed on UK motorways is about 85mph but yet they are the safest type of road to travel on. The problem is alot of peoples observations, they need to lift their vision and see the traffic half a mile away has slowed/stopped and take action early but if people weren't lane hogging then there would be less traffic hold ups meaning less accidents.
Alot of it is swings and roundabouts. If people were better drivers then the government might let them drive faster but if the government just let people drive faster then maybe they would have to become better drivers.
