Right so after all that you agree that traveliing at a slow speed
does not, in itself, cause someone to crash the car they're
driving.

No, the only speed that will guarantee that you can't crash into
anything is remaining stationary.

Even at a slow speed you can hit something.


Quite true, but it won't be the speed that causes the collision in
the same way that excessive sped can and does will it?


When faced with a stationary object, any speed is excessive for the
conditions.


Quite true. But this stationary object is your invention and doesn't feature
in the original scenario.
