As others have said, a "national" speed policy makes no sense. The terrain is not the same the country over and speeds need to reflect the terrain (and hence safety) and what it can bear.
Speed as an accident cause should not be a big issue. A much worse factor in the cause of accidents is the closeness with which vehicles follow another vehicle. 70 mph on good roads (good doesn"t have to be freeways) won"t cause accidents if everyone followed the proper intervals between vehicles based on your speed and properly followed all other driving rules. I"ve traveled 70 on many non-freeway roads in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, etc. Rarely see a law enforcement person, because speed is not that big of an issue in those flatter areas of the country.
Every day I"m on the road, I could get someone plowing into my vehicle"s rear, if I had to suddenly brake hard, because they are following me too closely. I have wondered how strongly our driving instructors emphasize the following-too-closely thing.
