Accidents not always due to speed; lots of other contributing factors; however, fatalities increase with higher speeds. Limits are also imposed for supposed environmental reasons, traffic flow control, etc. Places where the driving standards are higher and the drivers obey standard safety rules are safer with higher speed limits (driving on the Autobahn, very aware drivers and obey lane rules etc).
