Safety is not the only factor to consider - another is fuel consumption. Drag increases at the square of speed so increasing the speed by 20mph would be very bad for the environment both in terms of pollution and gobbling up fossil fuel. This was the reason why some of the current speed limits were introduced in 1974. |
