Collision at 75 vs. 55 mph has alot more energy behind it= a higher risk
of injury/death. Much higher.

Speeding should be cracked down on. Most people are not that great
drivers, and almost half of them are driving vehicles that are prone to poor
breaking and poor traction on pavement- SUV's and trucks.

Only IN a crash. However, the higher speed limit when more appropiate for
the road will PREVENT the crashes in the first place. I'd rather not
crash at 100mph than crash at 40mph. How about you?

Dumbing things down is why they are bad drivers. Demand competence
instead of lowering the bar for incompetence. By lowering the bar,
incompetence is promoted and flurishes.
