The first graph in the first link shows that the accident rate is asymptomatic to infinity as the speed falls, which would be obvious nonsense and cast doubt on the rest of the curve. Am I missing something?

I don't wish to get in your bad books but... asymptomatic means without symptoms. You mean asymptotic.

Indeed it does. Mea Culpa. Thank you very much. It is very important to catch such error and hold the perpetrator to account.

Yes but the slower driver was then driving without due care and attention and Weppej said, that if the slower driver WASN'T breaking rules or laws, so I cannot see any situation whereby this would happen.

You'd have the devil's own job trying to prove that you weren't to blame, though - especially if you didn't have any reliable witnesses, making it your word against theirs.
