solution ...lower speed limits and alot less horsepower.

The fatality rate tok a large step down when the oh-so-correct 55 national limit disappeared.

If you want to reduce highway fatalities, start using the nomenclature the NTSB uses for aircraft crashes.

Quit calling the majority of wrecks "accidents" and lay attribution to "operator error", mechanical failure, etc.

If someone in a Cessna whipped through the traffic pattern at a major airport and tried to land in front of a 747 on final, (sort of analogous to a Geo Metro cutting off a semi on an off ramp), you would not call it an "accident".
