80 MPH is the average speed of all vehicles on Hwy 316 (speed limit 65
or 55 depending on the area) or I-85 (speed limit ranging from 55 to 70)
here around Atlanta. Doing 90 MPH doesn't even feel very fast on my
geezerglide, 100 starts to feel fast. Buddy of mine and I did 100 MPH

That answers the question why 80 is faster than 50. It does not answer
the question why 50 is a safe speed and 80 is not. The kinetic energy at
50mph is more than enough to kill you.

I guess my quality of life does not depend on the traveling speed that
much. I remember when I came to USA 10 years ago I was speeding as crazy
- often doing 75 in crowded traffic on busy highways with limit 45. Now
driving 55mph (10 to 20 below the speed limit) on almost 2000 miles trip
did not bother me at all. It is just a reality I am living in.

I agree. I've seen the work done at UCSD's Scripps Institute of
Oceanography. Their credentials are impeccable, and the case they make
is pretty ironclad. But I think we've been past the point of no
return for years. Considering how difficult it is to convince the

Still it is worth to mention when we talk about no speed limits on
German Autobahns. And it is kind of clever to assume that insurance
companies will do everything to pay out the less.

The UK has forward facing cameras as well, like I said. So does France.

Who do you think you're addressing? Barefoot proles from Lower
Slobovia?
The US has been a space-fairing nation for almost 50 years now, and
even the average citizen knows quite a bit about space, much less
Reekyites; who tend to be pretty technically oriented.
Sheesh!

have seen such sometimes in Illinois but people there are definitely
less chicken over there. usually 50% of cars stays behind the cop while
other 50% passes the cop at speed equal or a bit higher then the limit.
another interesting case is when some people drive ex-trooper Crown
Victoria with antennas and remainings of police car's paining. and they
