I'm sure there are places in the mountains where it is possible to safely exceed the speed limit - particularly if it's a short burst.
As far as the bald prairies go, speed is often factor, but it's usually something else that's the actual cause of an accident. That's the difference between unsafe speeding and safe speeding. There are a number of people who speed every day and very few of them are crashing. If you were to limit the sample to people who maintain an adequate stopping distance, slow down when getting through traffic (so if you're going 140 and passing somone going 90, you actually slow down such as to not approach at 50), slow down prior to enter corners, are sober, not tired, and are paying attention to the road, I think you'd find that speeding is much less of a factor than it is in a general sample.
