I believe that most experts will agree that the majority of drivers will statistically go faster than the posted speed limits. It's almost like we think the speed limit is just a suggestion and not a law. So when a state or federal government raises the speed limit they are knowingly handing people a license to drive recklessly and to endanger lives.

Now we have added the total distraction of cell phones to the mix and it is an absolute miracle that death rates have not gone up.

I do wonder if there has been a raise in the death rates of pedestrians in the same period as this study however. No one has built a safer vehicle for THEM!

Hopefully, the one good thing to come from our dependence on oil might be a slowing of the speed rates for at least a short period of time.
