Driving in highway (Express way) needs training. Don't underestimate that. Controlling a Vehicle at 120KM/H is not a joke for Sri Lankans who usually do not exceed 80KM/h.
I can say this as I have drove in Swiss, German and Canadian Highways.

With the road width being narrower compared to international standards the speed limit may have to be reduced to 80KM from 100KM. This will reduce the risk of accidents even during rainy days.

tolerance or safety factor. Once you go above the design speed limit you putting yourself as well as the public at much greater increased risk of serious injury or death as well increasing the what we call your exposure. And that's is exactly what happened here, this guy was probably well above the speed limit, and statistics took their natural course and acted in favor of most properly outcome. Saying that doesn't mean every driver who speeds will be killed, you are increasing your risk greatly by doing so.

Posting a speed limit of 2kmph will not help this situation, this guy clearly has no regard for the laws.Therefore his license should be revoked, and only given back once you fully understands the seriousness of the risks of driving. Majority of the drivers who observe posted speed limit, reaps the fruits of engineering. 99.9999% of the time they will not have any incidences.

In reality, these vans are not made to drive at such a high speed. See the Tyre size.
