New Speed Limits

They are also increasing many speed limits here in New England from 55 to "70"! The problem is, with the "55" limit curently in place here, the majority of drivers are already going "75" & higher! Now that the limit is being raised to "70", many drivers most likely will feel free to cruise at 80 or better! And as for the 80mph limit on remote interstate highways, after going that speed, many drivers will not (just can't) slow down that much in a 60 mph zone, it's just human nature!

And You're right, Speed doesn't kill. "People's" Speeding vehicles KILL!
I figured we were on the same page, pretty much. Thanks for the clarification.
