Imagine what it must be like to drive reasonable speeds and not be afraid of getting pulled over lol. Don't drive like a dipshit and you'll fare a lot better with that, yeah?

If you care more about the law than safety, then drive the speed limit. If you care more about driving safely, you drive the speed everyone else is driving, whether that's above or below the speed limit.

Near me are two similar highways that intersect. One has a speed limit of 45, the other 30. I have no idea why the speed limits are so drastically different for similar roads, but most people drive around 40 on both of them (most similar streets here are 35). Speed limits are often kinda' arbitrary, which is really obvious when you find those rare streets where almost everyone drives below the limit.

A lot of traffic laws are about safety, like driving drunk, and traffic lights, and do a genuine service in keeping people safe. Speed limits often aren't about safety, though.
