>Speed isn't the problem... uneducated drivers, poor vehicle maintenance, poor road quality, etc are the problem.
Speed isn't the problem, neither are any of the others you mentioned. They all add to the problem of traffic fatalities though.
They did a study in Germany and were able to halve traffic fatalities by adding a speed limit of 130kph on one Autobahn section, measured over 3 years.[1]
Sure you can improve road conditions and driver education, but a multi-pronged approach including speed limits is sensible.
