“I showed why your reasoning was incorrect.”

About the only thing you showed me is that you drive well over the limit. I didn’t figure that in because I have no idea how good a driver you are and if you can handle high speeds. And there are enough bad drivers out there that are already busting the limit that can’t handle the vehicle good enough to do so as it is now.

We were talking about raising the speed limits and I was indicating nothing much was gained and a lot more was lost through trusting people to handle the cars. And you can be sure that not everyone has a USAC license out there so it is not automatically no different with the raising....it will be. And at those speeds, the difference will be body count.

“I didn’t figure that in “.

You presented the numbers. My examples show that that hours can be save using YOUR number comparisons and why driving at your upper number versus your lower number has benefits.

Do you remember when the fed set the 55 limit? I guess not.

Also, you ignored my post about fatalities INCREASED when Wyoming lowered speed limits.

“About the only thing you showed me is that you drive well over the limit.”

Are you a democrat?

“I didn’t figure that in because I have no idea how good a driver you are and if you can handle high speeds.”

I haven’t reset my speed limiter so my car and skills with my car haven’t been fully tested.

Without the limiter my car is good to 190+. At 140 I feel very comfortable depending on traffic and road conditions.

80 in a 75 zone is not well over.
