I do agree, but I also firmly believe that speed limits are designed for "the average." Average weather, driver ability, vehicle ability, etc.
I would be very interested in talking to a civil engineer who designs roads and sets speed limits. I think sometimes they are just set a certain way because it seems like that is a 70 road. Not because going 80 would not be safe. Just because it looked like a 70 road.
I guess my main point with arguing FOR speeding, is that I don't think it should be so illegal. It should be more of a guideline. Most people would still follow it. But when I can go faster I like to. I am talking about safely too: when the roads are dry and clear, and they aren't jam packed. I am not all about being a total jackass. I just like getting to where I am going fastly.
