1) A lower speed limit means a lower death and injury rate. Presumably, your life has some value.

However, a lower speed limit will result in more time being spent on the road exposed to danger, thus increasing the risk of injury and death.

BTW, I have heard that death rates actually decreased after the federal speed limit was removed (deaths per miles driven).

Going 55 might bring out the road rage. Do that factor that stat?
