Highway fatalities are at all time lows right now despite raising the speed limits to 75-85 mph and many more cars on the road. This trend is not debatable. Texas raised all speed limits (there are some 75 mph stretches on rural single lane country roads), then ratcheted down on some stretches when it was clearly too fast. Ahhh.....not a chore driving anymore.
There is much less tension and conflict on highways as the video points out, so the irony is that it is less stressful going faster too. The real causes now get focus, drunk driving, texting, not paying attention, and poorly designed roads.
