So.....what would happen if the speed limit was raised everywhere by 10MPH?

Seriously….when’s the last time you actually saw a group of cars going the speed limit? In my short experience, I see all of the people going 75–80 having to make snap decisions to go around the person going 65. It just seems counter productive to commerce and traffic if a few people are going slower than everyone else.

Is driving 80MPH really that dangerous? Is driving 35 instead of 25 that dangerous as well, what if we had a minimum speed limit in some areas? Would that help speed up traffic?
