Is it because there weren't speed limits like 70 years ago and no one introduced a law limiting car top speeds?

Well, there are places where you can legally go as fast as your car allows like tracks and Autobahn, so limiting cars performance doesn't make sense. Plus speed limits vary from country to country.
Contrary to popular belief speed kills, that is not necessarily true, its inappropriate use of speed at the wrong place/time that kills.
If you look at the majority of the vehicle accidents they don't happen at very high speeds anyway, even though the green brigade would have us believe otherwise.
Speed limits have been lowered to various areas - 20mph in UK, and Moronic traffic management in certain places, just for cyclists, which in turn has increased emissions due to more traffic, its places like this that increase likelihood of accidents but nobody seems to care, just fixated on speed.
