You're right that it's inappropriate speed that's the real problem here, where you miss the point is that most drivers are not qualified to determine what is/isn't an appropriate speed at the given time with any real accuracy.

I agree with the last statement. People in this country have no idea how to drive in general. Better education and mandatory advanced driving should be in place.

As for engine efficiency and all that garbage, that has nothing to do with imposed speed limits.

New York New York, so good you said it twice

You're also correct in that the US 55mph limit (and the typical european 90kph limit) have nothing to do with fuel economy.

I've been lucky that in almost 10 years of having a full licence I've not had a speeding ticket yet.

If I know a route, and I'm not travelling on minor roads, I will push the speed limit.

I know I'm right, most of hte interstates now are up to 65-70mph.

Possible, but unlikely.

I'm intrigued so let's see. I've done an average of around 30k/year for the last 23 years.

And they have nothing to do with economy either.....so we agree.

Not close, although a consistant 30k/year is still quite a lot of road time under your belt.

So you going to tell us or carry on being elusive?
