What is this "study" you are referring to? Punishing defensive drivers b/c everyone wants to go faster is not a solution. YOU also haven't addressed the fact that the reduction in fatalities is not b/c of increased speed limits but the result of the improvements in vehicle safety.

I have never head of any legitimate studies that have stated otherwise.
