"Higher speeds contribute to more crashes resulting in more severe injuries and deaths." — True.

Explanation (brief): Higher speed increases the chances of a crash (less time to react, longer stopping distances) and greatly increases crash severity because kinetic energy rises with the square of speed. The other statements are false: police can stop drivers for any unsafe/illegal speed (not only >10 mph over), speed limits are maximums under ideal conditions and you must slow for weather/road conditions, and there is no special "speed lane" that allows exceeding the posted limit.
