The "obvious" cause is bad drivers, many of whom should have surrendered their license a long time ago. As far as speed goes, both law enforcement and insurance sites state slow drivers cause more accidents that "speeders". And as far as speeders go, I have no problem with a NASCAR champion driving whatever speed he sees fit, whereas there are "drivers" in The Villages that can't handle a car or golf cart 10 or 15 mph under the limit. I suppose they are both "criminals"

NASCAR champ can drive whatever speed he sees fit on the race track with other pros that play by racetrack rules.
NOT on the public roads with families, school busses, trucks, etc! To believe otherwise is foolish, unrealistic and dangerous in the extreme.
As far as your accident theory goes, low speed accidents are more likely "fender benders", while it's the high speed race car wannabes that will be involved in major damage and death. The old line, "speed kills", is still true. Always remember, not every driver is as highly trained and skilled as you, and on
public roads they don't have to be.
