Most people drive within their skill level and their auto's capabilities, most of the time.
This is not the first time you've mentioned "raising the speed limit to 85", which nobody's suggested. As I asked in another post, do you not understand the difference between 85 mph and 85th percentile?
On what basis do you buttume that the number on the sign enables or prevents any particular driver doing any particular thing? It's this kind of unsupportable buttertion that undermines your position. It's just very obvious that not only have you no grasp of the fundamental principles and interactions at work, but also that you haven't given the matter much careful thought, if any. Opinions, guesses and preferences are fine, but facts and data trump them every time.
Nobody's advocating that. Why do you keep refuting something nobody has seriously proposed?
Incorrect. V85 speed limits (which are NOT the same as 85mph speed limits!) are known to maximize traffic safety AND minimize travel time. It doesn't have to be an either-or choice.
This is the first reasonably cogent observation I've seen you make in this thread.
