Speed limits and number of road accidents worldwide

Here are the numbers of traffic accidents per country and the respective speed limits:

It should be noted that for many developed countries accident and injury figures have been underestimated. Here only the death figures have been re-estimated by the OECD. Or the organization of the country does not allow to get the right numbers of road accidents. Or, there are very few cars in the country, which explains the few accidents.
