Well as the NMA states.  People drive at the 85th percentile.  That is that
if there were NO speed limits 85% of the people whould drive about the same
speed.  On roads where speed limits have increased, it has been shown that
people still go the *same* speed!

I've driven on 95 in Maryland and 65 is still pathetic!  But it is a step in
the right direction!
