The Mercedes’ average speed was 98 mph, Bolian said.

Proving that American roads are able to support much higher speeds than the posted speed limit.

Sure, as long as you’re driving a car designed to run on the autobahn.

One vehicle doing that is not evidence that millions of vehicles could do the same thing.

While some people are capable of being good drivers at higher speeds, there are too many idiots on the road I would be loath to trust to do that.

Yeah, and then when you have wrecks, there will be a lot more deaths and injuries if you have higher speed limits.
