Question What makes 25 safe ?

And at the risk of being called tiresome and a quibbler, what makes 25 so safe and 28 not ? If I find a single accident (? need it be fatal ?) at a speed under 25, can I then claim that 25 is too high and the speed limit should be lower ? How can coming up behind a boat at a closing speed under (or just over) the proposed limit be unsafe while a head on situation, where the closing speed would be legal at 50, be safe ? Can you at least understand why I and others find this such a difficult concept to grasp ? Why we think that Littlefield is not speed related ?
