First thing is you are stuck on the safety aspect of the question. There are many good reasons for a speed limit that have NOTHING to do with safety.
A speed limit will lower pollution, erosion, congestion etc. It will allow a more reasonable distribution of a limited resource.
With respect to safety any solution that requires absolute and total compliance with a given law is silly. It just is not going to happen, this is the real world. Back in the 60's there was a saying
"Suppose they gave a war and nobody came?" A lovely idea, but it doesn't help us with what to do about Iraq.
If nobody illegally used drugs, then all the laws against the production, transportation and sale of drugs would be unnecessary.
