Interesting article, and if you take out all the stupid driving (drunks, stolen cars in police chases...) from normal speeding, you would find speeding only makes up about 3% of the toll.(based on English stats)

Saw a women swerve to miss a large pothole the other day and she veered straight into oncoming traffic then veered back. Lucky the people in front of me where awake or they would of had a head on.

Apparently in the 90's in QLD it was 1.8% of all accidents were caused by speeding alone.
