But I agree with you Soror DSTinguished1, increasing the speed limit means that people will jump their minimum to OVER 80 and car accidents will increase.

Some college students at Georgia STate University recently did an experiment in rush hour traffic where they had 5 cars spread out across the 5 lane of 285 and drive the speed limit (it is 55 in the metro area). They filmed the entire thing and said folks were cussing them out, giving them the bird, going on the medium to pass them, etc. The DOT even said it was dangerous.
I do agree with the last statement. I automatically drive about 5 miles over the speed limit, so if it was 80 I know I would be doing 85!
