The higher the speed the greater chance of accidents and critical injuries. The people are already driving 20 to 30 over the speed limit. When I am driving 70 they pass me like I am sitting still. Higher speeds has already been proven to cause more accidents and deaths. We already know this why do it again. Then half of the people are on their phones or eating on the go. It is not safe now.

No,,everyone will continue to go 10 -15 miles over. Still on their phones, there aren't that many drivers qualified to drive in traffic at those speeds.
