If there are more drivers then there will more likely a chance of accidents but if there are less then it also makes sense that there will be less accidents. Exposure is a smart concept since the more an individual drives the more likely he or she will be involved in an accident but on the flip side the less an individual drives then they have less exposure which as a result is less accidents.

The misinformation was used a lot during the 55 mph era. Misinformation like this is used in the UK to prop up the bad idea of speed cameras too. See www.safespeed.org.uk or www.abd.org.uk (check out "Rigging the Evidence" in their speed camera section.) (Also check on "Road Fatalities") I am glad the NMA pointed this out.
