The biggest factor they appear to ignore is drivers not driving relative to the road conditions/ weather, etc but you can't legislate for lack of common sense. A 70mph limit on motorways doesn't mean 70mph in snow, thick fog or bad visibility, but still you see it happening. As I said above the government tend to address road safety purely in terms of speed limits which has the additional (purely coincidental I'm sure 
) bonus of filling the coffers with speeding fines.
Education is definitely preferable, the government's chosen option is to punish all for the failings of the few (again).
