Tell that to these guys.
What happens to the hours you have saved when you dramatically increase your chances of dying in an auto accident?
How much is your life worth to you? How much is my life worth because a person’s need for speed ended my life?
Psst - 85mph is the new Texas upper limit.
*MANY* international studies show that going faster does NOT increase your chances of dying in an auto accident. If anything, the Germans have proven that by introducing speed limits on their autobahns, the introduction of such limits will cause an *increase* in automobile fatalities by increasing the speed *differential* between different cars on the highway.
