It wasn't speed that caused the accident; it was a pissed driver.

How much more tax are YOU willing to pay for additional resources or tech to catch and prosecute more drinking drivers?

Speed might not be the cause, but it does influence the outcome.

It's the speed on impact that influences the outcome, not the speed at which the vehicle was travelling beforehand. A more alert / less drunk driver could react quicker to a hazard, resulting in a lower impact speed and less damage / risk to life. So arguably the state of the driver is equally or more important than the speed at which they were travelling before the hazard became apparent.
