You can't change attitudes by fitting speed restrictors. All that does is 'dim-down' driving and make people pay even less attention. The best way to change attitudes is to educate - make the driving test harder and sufficiently comprehensive to include a wider range of conditions such as motorways and driving at night. Incentivise (or make mandatory) advanced driver training. Introduce regular re-tests to ensure maintenance of skills. Make speed limits relevant (30mph can be too much in town near schools, 70mph can to be too low on a clear dry motorway in a modern car) and then enforce robustly. There is no such thing as dangerous roads, only people who don't know how to drive on them. Equally speed doesn't kill - inappropriate speed kills sometimes.

Easy really, just expensive.
