I just take 'little correlation of deaths v speed limit' as an argument against speed limits in general. Otherwise, what is the point of raising the issue?

Also, he says: '10 times as many people die on UK country lanes than on motorways. This furthers our evidence that motorway limits have less effect on deaths than other roads..'

Comparing country roads to motorways? A country road could be one car width or two car widths at best, with vehicles driven, often, erratically in both directions with little warning of obstructions or oncoming traffic.

A motorway is 3 or 4 lanes of vehicles travelling in the same direction with virtually zero chance of anything coming the other way, usually clear visibility and advance warning of obstruction, etc

You don't see a problem here?
