Nationwide, 70% of traffic deaths do not involve speeding.

That statement is just splitting hairs about the labels that go into police traffic reports. The fact is that 82 percent of fatal crashes in urban areas occur at speeds above 30 mph. As the saying goes, on urban streets and suburban arterials - speed kills.
