You seem to be overlooking the point that fewer accidents happen per mile on motorways, but when they happen, usually through driver error (including over-confidence and speeding), the result is carnage and frequently death - you could easily be doing your good, safe driving at 90mph when somebody else doing 120mph clips and spins you into the following traffic - at that speed you would be seriously injured, if not killed, and so would many other good, safe drivers - the video is a classic example illustrating how the innocent become victims and the guilty escape unscathed - even if you avoid injury in such a crash, unravelling the dozens of insurance claims (including unqualified and uninsured drivers) would take months .....
