Dunno where you might be, but if you drove at or below the speed limit on most eastern US highways, you'd be a clear and present danger on the road.

Unlike the speeders and those who disregard the traffic laws? Uh huh.

Yes, absolutely, it is much safer to drive 75mph than the posted 65mph, for example, on I-95. Speed limits are what they are because the socialists thought they could force gas conservation on us.

Please don't tell us you think the speed limt is a failsafe, always-reasonable-and-accurate figure. Please DO tell us you're familiar with the 85th percentile concept. If you think everyone driving the 'safe' speed limit would create a traffic panacea, please have a look at this (unless you've seen it already):

Dammit! I demand that the national maximum speed limit be 12 miles per hour.

It should not exceed a good jogging pace!
