Lets look at increased deaths
increased accidents
increased costs
maybe the US should go down to a 55mph limit like a civilized country
You need to make up your mind. Is it speeding that you think is the problem, or the speed at which people drive? The two are not the same thing. A lower speed limit will likely change the speed at which people drive, but it won't necessarily change how much people speed - in fact, it could do the opposite.
And what made you settle on 55 as the ideal speed limit? Why not 60, or 50, or 40?
