Why are so many people dying on our roads ??

I am all for reducing the road toll. I would like to see ways of actually doing this because so far nothing I see that is being done officially is helping at all.
I just saw a comment on Stuff where the police are blaming the usual - "Speed, alcohol and drugs and distraction are still the main causes of death and serious injury."
And it got me to wondering as to how lowering the speed limits on most of our roads is going to help with any of these (I am interested in before the event, not having a way to blame afterwards).
The first from excessive speed - this will mean driving at a speed not safe for conditions etc. Imposing an arbitrary limit has no meaning to those speeding, they are going to do it regardless. The other three (alcohol, drugs, distraction [I am ignoring the extra "and" here]) have nothing to do with speed limits.
Looking at this it seems to me that lowering the speed limits has caused more deaths rather than fixing anything !!!
