It is the attitude and mind set of the driver that is the problem...Not the slower speed.
It is all about EMOTION, that causes wrecks.. People are not paying attention. or are too selfish and angry, that cause the accidents...
Not the slower drivers...And the argument that driver's that drive slow due so because they need to because they cannot handle the speed ?hahaha.
I drive slow to protect my License...Get to the track with me and good luck keeping up...And if you do, you will be driving your car at the limit, and well done..

You left out the distracted drivers who cause accidents, and they tend to drive more slowly than normal. Yes, slower drivers cause accidents. This has been my main objection to speed cameras for a long time. When people know there is a speed camera, they will speed all the way up to it and then drastically reduce their speed to avoid a ticket. If the motorist behind them doesn't know about the camera, they may rear-end the other driver or be forced to swerve. I've seen that more times than I can count. A state trooper is a better deterrent to speeding, in my opinion, than a speed camera.
Also, the idea that a yield is better than a stop is also quite logical. Replacing red lights with traffic circles has reduced fatalities in a few key locations in Maryland, including the main traffic circle in Towson that links Dulaney Valley Rd to a couple other main arteries. The number of fender benders increased, but the number of severe accidents involving bodily harm went to practically nil.
