The "trigger" of a collision may be driver error. Speeding is rarely a trigger. It is usually driver distraction, following too close, or making unsafe turns.
But the severity of a collision is directly related to the speed.
Take the speed out of the equation and most collisions with today's ultra-safe vehicle are surviveable. Yet we still have 300-400 deaths EVERY YEAR on Alberta's roads.
