Yep those bad ignition switches caused those people to drive double and triple the speed limit, some in poor conditions, and some driving drunk, and some without seat belts. People NEVER crash cars and die driving drunk or dangerously, or at two or three times the speed limit, or in poor conditions, or not wearing a seat belt, with perfectly good ignition switches.
I think it's a fair assumption that the consequences of a deficient ignition switch are additive to the rest of the risks those people were taking. Could easily make the difference between survivability and fatality, but I wouldn't even try to guess at what the % of fault belongs with the switch in those cases. Pick your own number between 1 and 99.
