Wrong. Accidents are caused by impatient drivers who can't tolerate, even for a few precious minutes, someone who doesn't drive at their preferred speed, so rather than slow down for a minute or two and wait for a safe moment to pass, feel entitled to make erratic, unpredictable, and often unsignaled moves to overtake the driver.
Remember, "speed limit" refers to the maximum speed allowed by law, not the minimum speed required.
