I suppose, but lawmakers optimize for the 1% error case, actual drivers optimize for the 99% case.
Let me take a thougher position. The value society gains by upping the speed limit on a major road will quickly outpace the value of the lives lost due to accidents. It's just that the injuries and deaths are more visible.
The evidence should be that almost everyone drives at the faster speed anyway and 35mph roads aren't death traps.
