/// the unexpected concomitant 55 speed result, very
reduced accident rate. ///
I've always considered this argument for lower Interstate speed limits to be
phony. How many Interstate Highway accidents are a result of excessive
speed? I live very near the Indiana Toll Road and in fact drive it daily.
Over the past 20 years I don't remember a single accident along this road
that was solely speed related--speed and adverse weather maybe--but not
speed. ////
