Well, it's more a codification of driving conventions.  I'm English, and so
was used for a while to driving on the left side of the road.  If I were to 
continue that habit here there would doubtless be accidents.  If there were
no regulations then I would not be responsible for the chaos caused by
driving on the left.  I prefer it as it is, with a well defined set of
conventions.  I would still prefer roads where it was possible to drive
faster than the typical speed on highways now.  I do not see this as
dangerous as long as everybody agrees on a set of conventions for driving on
such a road, i.e. maintaining a reasonable speed, and not cutting in front
of people, etc.
