There's a couple of assumptions:
1) The driver uses the speedo to adjust his speed
2) Driving slower means you will have fewer crashes,

If you take those as given, then the high speedo (eg. speedo
that says you are doing 75 when you are doing 65) will result
in having fewer crashes than other cars that are actually going 75.

(NB. I'm not commenting on the validity of those assumptions,
I'm just saying that that is why some manufacturers set their
speedos high).
